Across strobe-lit nightclubs, bustling sidewalks, and ancient forests shrouded in fog, birds become omens and witnesses: crows stitching the city’s black halo, pigeons lingering like forgotten monks, an owl who holds the night in his eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eWoven with recurring refrains and talismanic phrases, these poems explore memory, tenderness, and the exquisite agony of being reborn.
