Murmuration

“Look up!”
A distant darkness,
its pixelated air current shadow
undulates.
Infinitely dimensional
bird cloud dance
overhead.
Millions of voices and bodies,
twice as many wings
shape-shift.
Stochastic fast-slow system:
small changes, small surprises,
critical transition.
I whisper, 
“It’s not raining.”
