falcons reclaim
quarried heights
gimlet the gargoyle
tower
stoop, swiftly
silent
detonating iridescent
whirls
in urban
amphitheatres
above the startled
city street
unfurling flocks
of starlings chatter
crenellate turrets
a murmuration
gathering in
December’s
dusk

Beautifully evocative of how nature is occupying cities. Love the phrase "urban amphitheatre" and I can see the starlings.
This is great -- a linguistic treasure trove. Wonderful words and nice use of alliteration. You are a true poet, Val.
