A Seemingly Random Murmuration of Pigeon

The world seems content
     to move on without us,
How we hesitate to peek
     into its veil,

As if invisible was the same
     thing as naked,
And the shapes passing by
     were really people.

How hard it must be for the tree
     not to ask any favors,
For the birds not to care
     what we think.

And so it is for us, to forget
    what we know,
Block the whispers
    of raw eternity.
