Murmuration

How did each one know how to glide –
forward or back or to whichever side
across the sky this January dusk?
 
On second-guessing wings
they swerved and turned in time
fluid, as one – they moved in rhyme
 
so synchronised it seemed absurd.
Who’d guess, at dark,
that we could be as birds?
