Blackbirds

They flew in bunches so big 
   it’s impossible to describe the enormity 
   of the clouds they formed in otherwise clear sky.  
They would dance and bounce in unison 
   as they moved from one feeding area to the next. 
And as they did, you could see the light change 
   in the cloud as they would suddenly shift directions. 
It was like a wave moving across the group 
   from the lead to the last in flight. 
How could they change like that, so quickly, 
   all together, and without a single bird loosing its place?  
Their wings made a whishing sound 
   as they pushed their way through the air 
   and you could hear them chirping as they 
   rhythmically loped and paddled their wings, 
   preserving their position in the multitude.
