Who keeps the flies away.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

To shed light on the questions re: broods and time-periods. The poem was inspired by watching swallows feeding in a field during the day, then being replaced by bats as the light faded. However, the language is partially influenced by the recent debates surrounding the European migrant crisis.

That's very cool! The poem really takes on another level with this information. I had not really understood this even though the title does hint in that direction. 

I wonder if you might want to allude to this a bit more obviously in the title!
