"eloquent birds" eloquent birds pass my eyes the sky heavy full-bellied pregnant and hailstorm green it lifts their wings signing singing other worlds away heart beats up and down down and up notes written the clouds ripening ready to burst will spill like a dam notes beat down and up up and down two-in-two written like a heart across a boxed-in tumbling storm cloud sky and the boats racing sail on by and the child inside inside inside like a ghost cries, cries, cries down and up up and down eloquent birds pass my eyes their wings singing signing heart beats away up and down down and up up and down rain drops fall like warm tears descending the cheeks of windows notes written across a boxing storm cloud sky unboxing red ribbons the present rising chords like violet notes taken in their freedom beaks above it all and the boats racing sail on by two-on-two under the eyes of emeralds boxing ghosts shadowed blue (LadyLabyrinth/2023) Boxing Day, 26.12.23 Sydney, Australia "Strange though, it's a lie, it's true Same old pain though, it's new No shame, you have the right to choose Love won't judge those few Pretty little bird in a ghost garden Lovely little world in the garden I'm a little bird in a ghost garden Just a little ghost in the garden I'm gonna' sharpen my sight, I'm gonna' sharpen I'm gonna' sharpen my sight just like a knife" dam. a barrier constructed to hold back water and raise its level dam. female parent of an animal damsel.
