Nothing Personal

When I kiss you all over,
I leave bite marks.
Signposts for the next traveler.

Paranoia? What Paranoia?

Six sinister birds
Stare back through the kitchen window
Two
Sets of three
Gaze at me

Bobbing their heads in conference
They agree to attack
A flutter of wings
Squadron of feathery doom

There’s something to be said
for the regular cleaning of windows.
Crows, apparently, have poor eyesight

I am amazed
I am amused
Amazed the glass did not crack
Amused at six concussive birds
stumbling in mid air
F-troop with wings
