bird song - a poem

in #poem7 years ago


walls contain
a bottled prison

yearning for
spirits within

when a house
is just place

the cork cracks open
flies free

looking for
unsoiled carpet

wine spills
wherever
space will allow

i have searched
all over
for your stain

you are not here my love
you are not here

love traps time
makes him stand still

desire is
misplaced hope
a broken camera

we have both traveled
so far from

if i am home at last
where are you

you are not here my love
you are not here




voice: the breath's tooth.
thought: the brain's bone.
birdsong: an extension of the beak.
speech: the antler of the mind.
