Starlings in danger after numbers plummet 80 per cent
Telegraph, 20 July 2012
Watch your own back yard
for that is where it will start,
the sequined flock gathers, turning
over your shit, unearthing worms
then scattering over the garden fence,
and up, into the internet,
tweeting half-truths, conjuring smoke
from murk that won’t be coaxed
to flames, turning a million
opinions, or turning a single opinion
a million times over, returning
to your home to roost as a swarm.
