The Flight Of The Blackbird
I had a family once. Or something like it. There were parties full of laughter. Teary goodbyes. Quiet evenings sharing fears, confessions, and tender glances. There was even the strange, drunk uncle who seldomly visited but always brought a brand of not-quite-believable stories with him when he arrived. We gathered ‘round shoulder to shoulder to listen to those wild tales. I bled for them. Cried for them. Would have rolled over and died for them.

Nightbirds
The banjos plucked and twanged. All of them out of tune. The melody they attempted was lost to the distemper of the players. Still, the flourishes were all played correctly, synchronized with the belting call of the Leaders as they brought back their arms and cracked their whips. It was vile. It was what passed as art and entertainment.
