The physics and linguistics of scaring a bird
-
By Melissa IngoldsbyPublished about a year ago • 1 min read
I scared the bird that was looking for food, wings flapping around with fear
He flew away, in a panic landed on a wire and chewed on it for relief
The electrical wire was damaged, it turned off my lights in a sizzle and crackle
I found your lost voice in my heart in the dark; the bird sang out a mournful farewell to its lost breakfast as
I felt the warmth of the words in a book in the dark—-raised like secret braille.
