Moore Thoughts: Another bird

Yesterday I was sitting  in my  green corduroy  chair, by my 3rd window in my loft , idle gazing across the next rooftop. I was situated diagonally toward the  building across the street. I began watching a seagull circle round the sky, passing by the neighbor's 7th floor window. It was a large bird and he kept circling round and around.  Relaxing to watch his hypnotic circles and feel the creaminess of the air he was stirring. His figure floated, compelled by the greying light, maneuvering  and adjusting his wings up and down ever-so lightly.  To me an effortless spirit gliding with muted calm.  During his second pass rounding the building's corner, he tilted his head downward and went careening  into a selected windowpane. The soundless thud alarmed my frozen brain.  I saw him continue his methodical rounds to crash the pane, crash the pane, crash the pane,  till the number 5. He completed his mission, flew up rocket bound and headed East. The sky was numb.
