in company we gather like a
murder of crows and plot
our lives like a generation of vipers
who consult with a troop of monkeys
while a convocation of eagles
meet across the river from the
parliament of owls
there is strength in numbers
there is safety when we pool our
strength against the headwinds
like a wedge of swans, when we
stalk the Serengeti like a pride
of lions fresh from considering
the words of those wise like a
quiver of cobras who know
what it is to stand between
a herd of deer and a pod of whales
But gently speaking like
a kindle of kittens
who speak in the language
of a cry of hounds
