“The year the blackbirds Died” by christian ward

They found the birds impaledon white picket fences;in fist-sized nooses, circling like trapeze artists trying to find the safety net;slumped over tables, wings hoarding nests of pills.And all the while, cats were waiting outside, their scratching tremors trying to eke out confessions from empty mouths.
