Small birds possess an innate ability to sense and avoid life-threatening situations, such as vehicles approaching them on the road. Despite their constant gathering and hunger, they understand that their survival instincts must guide them to safety at critical moments. The imagery of these birds feasting on unseen sustenance before taking flight reflects a profound connection to their environment and an instinctual wisdom that allows them to navigate perilous circumstances.
How do the small birds in the street know how not to die— that whatever they gather, hunger for, is never enough to keep them in the road when our wheels bear down upon them?
They feast on what I cannot see then fly away & sing.
