Strange Birds

As he sits on the bench thinking of the departed soul,
The dark night rumbles,making the owls silent,
then comes strange birds with fierce looks,
ready to devour,suck and cause panic in the city.

Olusegun, very interesting visual with this. Gives me the creeps. Soul suckers out for their nightly feeding.
