Among the buildings of Norfolk
    Migrant blackbirds bear
    Sunset on their wings
    Moving in gusts and eddies
    While twilight plays in the windows' reflections
    Rising from ground shadows
    To overwhelm the sky
    They are unpredictable and wild
    As milkweed down
    Or what we call mind
    Looking for a place to welcome night
