When walls grow beaks......13.05.2020

Chirp chirp, all around

There's a shuffling sound

I can no longer rest

There’s too much resound

Last year was a lucky one

So too many said

There were birds in our walls

From dusk until dawn

a few little squeaks at around 8 am

Then surfaced again at half past 10

coming and going were two feathery friends

Coexisting with us somewhere near our door

A few weeks later, a really sharp tone.

I couldn’t quite figure that cut through the bone

It got louder and louder, too much for my ear.

What is that thing? Is it out? Or in here?

I went to the kitchen to fetch us a drink

Saw a little black thing somewhere near the sink

What have they done? I’ve just mopped the floor!

How could I miss that it? could there be any more?

It was frozen in time and so was that sound

I walked a bit closer as I looked all around

Quite a few more that were making their way

From the hall to the kitchen to my utter dismay

My heart beating fast as I reached for a pan

my boy was at home and at work was my Man

There were gaps in the bricks where their parents had pecked

some invisible eggs or chicks in a nest?

A bird in house' is a sign of good luck.

An Omen, don't worry just wait it to struck

We waited all spring and summer too passed

And autumn and winter gave way to the rest

Why am I waking at 4:30 am?

Which one of those singing was with us back then?

About Me

I write about my struggles as a mum of a highly sensitive child and dealing with the education system. Our fights over 10 years with the  broken system, who were   determined to label him Autistic and how I managed to combat this. My journey as a migrant from a mixed marriage who lived through one war and chose her maternal country in the end in pursuit of happiness.
