Be Cause
the murder
above my
head is
biblical
i know
they fly
and land
and fly away
to land
somewhere
out of sight out
of mind but once a
poetic bird
watcher watched
them become leaves
on a long bare autumn tree
bare for
all had left
before there
we're talkies and
everything
was yin and
yang with no
discrimination
in their
blackness
they became
light like a feather
less flight
of fancy and
imagery that will
stay with me even if
it
was
through
someone
else's eyes
(Inspired by a poem by Maureen McGreavy)
