Their crisis is our crisis The slender-billed curlew is the first European mainland bird to go extinct in half a millennium www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/new... And all I have to respond with is a poem
Photo of a page with a poem called Curlews

The poem reads:

On a failing clifftop path
you halt and hush me,
pull out from the ice-flecked air
sad and steady minims
fluting through a perfect fifth.

This is their call. Curlews
glissando the headland 
cluttered by gulls,
riding out the crisis
on soft thermals of aplomb.

Love, let's take some notes.

The fifth poem in PERVERSE 8A is ‘small poem’ by Jayant Kashyap (@jaydkash.bsky.social). Read all five poems from the first section here: perverse.substack.com/p/perverse-8a
Jayant Kashyap


small poem 

about birds— they did somersaults
in mid-air summers ago

and landed between trees

it looked fucking exhilarating—Jayant Kashyap  
https://giantketchup.wordpress.com/; https://poetrybusiness.co.uk/product/notes-on-burials/
Jayant Kashyap is the author of three pamphlets, most recently Notes on Burials (Smith|Doorstop, 2025), and a zine, Water (Skear Zines, 2021). His poems have been published in POETRY (Chicago), Poetry London and Poetry Wales. 

Note on ‘small poem’:
“‘small poem’ was the result of a thought that focussed majorly on how, once, we often saw so many birds gliding around in the air – hundreds of feet above us – and they did all the neat tricks there; these days though I miss sparrows and crows, whose populations I’ve noticed have been declining gradually because of a plethora of reasons – and it’s deeply saddening, if not more.”

late light entering Elizabeth Arnold
The Sparrowhawk Sits


so still on the

high electrical wire,
later in the pin oak with its

beautiful rust-dark streaks on the breast,

late light entering
the black seep of the eye,

for what seems like

eternity. Thus can a bird like that
be so ignored

by all it will devour.
