Leaf 225 – Looking Back

| C.F. Tunnicliffe - Starlings and Magpies (What to Look for in Winter, 1959) |
This poem captures a late, autumnal memory
of home. Sometimes it feels so far away, but birds – such as starlings – make similar
journeys too, and always with the promise of a return at some point in the
cycles of life and all its ever-changing seasons.
Shoals of starlings swim
– last lights
of a lost day.
