The Birds

Goura Cristata (crown dove)

These birds —

They never sing false notes. Humans slip their tongues now and then.

Where did the birds learn to sing? How did they master the sounds without flaw?

A silent crow

Oye, Birds…. Would you tell her? Would you teach him?

To sing beautifully, to talk flawlessly?

Or, at least I using the real voice of theirs…. Be it chirping, be it crowing, be it cooing…. So be it, as long as it’s their real languages.
