Birdsong Climates

An accident of history, a coincidence, I wonder, EurAsia's Nightingale sings toward newborn dawns of life hope faith, while New Western Hemisphere's Eastern Whippoorwill sends a darker through SouthWestern chill warning of dualdark's bodily demise. These two, Nightingales with transatlantic Whippoorwills continue singing through our outdoor dreams of nights FullMoon Nightingales of EurAsian love and NewMoon Whippoorwills warning of impending loss, climates of emerging, co-gravitating pathology, descent waving toward Nightingale repressions, reweaving nocturnal memories of happyYang Opportunity within sadYin PromisedThreat. An accident of history, a coincidence, this confusion of colonialism's economic hubris with anthro-elitism's Whippoorwills warning shared political LoseLose demise. Nightingales heard LeftBrain dominant echoing NewMoon Whippoorwills sung RightBrain sacred ecological matriarchal concave womb, nurturing dualdark mythic warnings flying through troubling climatic dreams, like distant rolling thunder coming toward a capitol investment near Earth's groundnest, GoodNews Nightingales with BadFeeling Climates revolving bright and dualdark GrandMother Moon sung in Whippoorwills.
