A grieving mate keeping watch over it's dead companion, lying still on the cold ground. Refusing to leave, waiting for the impossible; it's mate to fly once again. The newspaper headline today: ' 'HANNIBAL THE CANNIBAL' SHOT DEAD ' He bows his head in respect. Outside, a disturbance causes several birds to start; together, a dark cloud. Barney hopes the starling will not grieve for too long over her mate. copyright 2003, by Deoceres |
