Bird Black

Blackbirds singing in jackboots Women freshening and powdering in the Men's room A child is born without square eye's and cell phone permanently attached to it's inner ear Traversing footsteps under a star with both maternal loving married parents expectantly awaiting a cradle beside Waning Luna quarter moon tide lapping in and out the countryside Clotting blood splattered indiscriminately outside the chalk line box A hairdresser shearing blonde locks off for a charitable cause or donation appeal A doctor delivering a terminal diagnosis Whilst in the other room a child is born and miraculous life saving medical procedure is being performed
