Summary
The author reflects on an encounter with a group of birds perched like musical notes on wires, which then take flight in a cacophony, while on a morning walk.
Abstract
The text is a poetic observation of birds on telephone wires, likened to musical notes on a staff, by an author known as Wolfstuff. The scene is vividly described, with the birds appearing as if they could be read as a musical score if they would remain still. The author expresses a wish to play a flute for them, noting the birds' restless movement and the sudden, mysterious command that causes them to fly away in a complex, layered sound. The experience is grounded in the simple continuation of the author's morning walk, juxtaposing the extraordinary moment with the ordinariness of daily routine.
