A Bird Now Gone
No bird remains to sing his song
So silence pounds the whole day long
In beat with memory of the day
I clapped to make him go away
The fault, it clearly lies with me
The bird was what the bird should be
Now I live knowing I was wrong
To want to silence any song
…Inspired by ‘A Minor Bird’ by Robert Frost
