Imagine the stories, these feathers must hold
Now wasted, laying here, on the ground
I wonder exactly, who lost these grand pieces
I find myself looking around
The ones in the trees, singing merrily
Can’t be them, not one is perturbed

This quandary, it has me disturbed
Then suddenly, I see him there
His blue outshines the rest
A jay, among the other birds
Feathers missing from his breast
Still he struts with the best of them
Unaware he’s missing his tufts
He flies away, back to his home
With himself, he is quite chuffed
If you look on the left of the bird (your right in the pic), you can see where he lost the feathers, after a scuffle with another jay.

Bastava dar um assovio e toda a traquinagem aparecia em forma de pelos e cor.
Havia um tempo em que nós cruzávamos as cercas em busca dos cogumelos e a floresta era nosso lugar preferido. Sabíamos que haveria de chegar o dia de partida e que a precisão do amor…

From the very first opening at Kunst!Rasen some years ago now when the late, great, Lou Reed took the stage, the opening show seems to have always been, in my memory anyway, on a bright and sunny day. The 2017 opener Passenger guests appeared on my cellphone calender though along with a storm warning. […]
