Of a Feather
Christina Ellison
We’re a horde of fledgling-
women, hair escaping
ponytails and plaits,
eyes full of the moon.
One begins a tune and the rest
join in; a song that morphs
into shrieks and dissolves
into cackles.
We flit from light to
light, taunting those
scared of creatures like us
who sing and sing and sing.
