Just watching birds

Its dusk

I sit here watching birds

Not bird-watching

No App

Just watching the birds

Listening to the birds

A blackbird, a blackcap, canaries, a firecrest

I watch a kestrel dive, and wonder...what does that feel like?

I sit here watching birds

Not bird-watching

No App

Then I can't help myself

I pick up my phone

And write a bloody poem

I can't help myself

I was just watching birds
