Four magpies – What does it mean?
Three on the left, one to the right
Under the wing a blotch of white
Snow peeking from
A field of jet black
A hobbling motion
On a sea of green
A dance of mystery
On a color scheme
Messaging from the Muse
Thieving, or just there minding
Their own business entangled
In the sound of a faraway
Unaware green comet
Tracked by a million telescopes
And Auduboned naked eyes
Obsessing on visual portents
Their dormant organ deaf
To the symphony of celestial spheres
