No 39 - White-eyed Starling

This starling was once wide-eyed; eyes filled with innocence and wonder. He would be found in the the warm fold of friends. They would soar into the sky and dance. They would sweep across the sky with their long tail-streamers tracing their movements behind them.

Today he stares into the hill forest and realizes he is a solitary figure. He feels lost yet this is his home, his forest, his country. He alone has long tail-streamers, the other males have lost theirs or they are broken. The forest is smaller. When did he make enemies with these machines? He looks out into the world white-eyed.
