Tadarida

written By

we begin at dusk
lying in wait
  while the world
  moves apace
oblivious to our
woes and whims
the night flight begins
  coordinated cluster into
  the abundant sky
despised & expectant
  driven to extinction
we make black tendrils
  against a setting sun
  wings thrashing perfect pink
  beauty in arrangement
throbbing impulse
movement in tandem
a wild yearning
for survival
we can't escape
these age-old habits
we crave damp
  caves to satisfy
nocturnal needs
some things come
natural in the dark
