Saw, Swoop, zip, tail,
Rise, dive,
Kiyaa-Kiyaa!
black cockatoo.
Land, tree's leaves, fruit and berries,
Seeds-CRACK! SPLIT! falling........
another place, soft, warm.
I see you fall from high
inside my tree.
cry, mourn, echo, comeback!
fly away, my tree has fallen,
Kiyaa-Kiyaa! - gone, disappeared,
grey concrete & steel, smoke, nothing left.
kiyaa-kiyaa! - black cockatoo.
