Bird Black

Blackbirds singing in jackboots

Women freshening and powdering 
in the Men's room

A child is born without square eye's
and cell phone permanently attached
to it's inner ear

Traversing footsteps under a star
with both maternal loving married
parents expectantly awaiting a
cradle beside

Waning Luna quarter moon tide 
lapping in and out the countryside

Clotting blood splattered indiscriminately
outside the chalk line box

A hairdresser shearing blonde locks
off for a charitable cause or donation
appeal

A doctor delivering a terminal diagnosis

Whilst in the other room a child is born
and miraculous life saving medical
procedure is being performed
