The end of all the birds


An escatological Pile of feathers




A vulture pierced to pieces by violent winds of prey
A canarys decline is often feline
A blackbird blacked out at the dead of night
Bats bleeding in the belfry
Swarms of pigeons getting lost in the big city
An ostrich burying its entire body in sand
Sparrows wither in flight in the bleak winters light
A budgerigar by and by
The red baron like an eagle but captured by a beagle
An owl at night in a howl of light
A parrot chattering it self to deaf
A swan sinking slowly to the bottom of your lake
Ducks sitting and hunters hitting
A penguin by not being invited out
An albatross colliding with an ancient mariner
A buzzard in a blizzard
Peacocks by splintering into dissolving spectra
Chickens by beating too long 'bout the bush
An eagle marooned, somewhere on the moon
Cuckoos sighing off, fading into their own echo
Just as geese disappear in the breeze everywhere
A turkey ungratefull on thanksgivingday
A gull in a squall
A nightingale crystallised by moonlight.
A swallow when swallowed
Humming birds in a song and a trance
A siren by singing in vain
A falcon by disappearing into a maltese mystery
Angels by burning their wings to the bone
Phoenix in fire again 'n again...

Addendum concerning Insectes expiring



Gnat splat
A wasp in a wisp...
Locusts if the sun eclipses
Mayflies to the last minute waltze
Spiders getting lost in their own webs
Ladybirds into red + black dots
Dragonflies crashlanding on the sun
All butterflies self-destruct, when they run out of butter
Bees return to be cubed
Flies like a gun with the wind
Moths trying to eat fire
Lice between the sheet
A firefly turned inside off
Mosquito ditto
