shotguns and seagulls

i follow birds
on my way home from the beach
riding silent on my bicycle
hoping that the shadows
of their wingspans
are pointing in the direction
of flight and flee and fall
and most of all
the freedom of infinity
which has granted numbers
to never end
and grants the souls of centuries
to burst into unanimous lift-off
simultaneous as hollow bullets
from the barrel of a shotgun.

my hands
are anchoring the handlebars;
ready, aim,
as the arrow of birds
continues along the riverbed
a V shape, a signal,
a direction to blend into
whether it echoes downward
into the sights of the black water
of suburban cities,
or stoops
in the forest of palm trees
and non-indigenous nature.

i am a part of it.
i'm in the subculture
of superficial,
just like these birds.
manicured wings and beaks,
and feathers bleached,
tetanus shots
and rabies vaccinations.
i steady myself
to become one with
the prima facie of death,
as i continue following them
all the way to the bridge
that leads to my home,
my name, my art;
my shotgun.

i fire,
and the seagulls
fall slowly into the sunset
until they breach
the horizon of another town
far from anything
that resembles the sea.

EDA, should I worry that you are actually going serious on me? But do you have any idea how good this is? So many levels...I'm seriously impressed.

Mystery,

I just wrote this today, but I had been pondering a few lines for this ever since my bike ride a few days ago. Funny though, the lines that I had been thinking of are not in the poem at all now. Glad that it all came to me today. I was pleasantly surprised with this. I haven't written any new poems in a week or two. I think this one makes up for that a little bit. I really like this one too, if I must say so myself. Thanks for reading.
