Little Wren

For whom do you cry little wren? You spread your wings All on your own. Your siblings perished. Do you know? Do you sing for me, And me alone? I wish I could be you little wren Been where you’ve been, Be a small unassuming friend I want to fly higher than the sky. Singed wings on our sun’s rays. Or closer to the coast. Sinking deep, Beneath the waves. I sit here. Alone in agony No more freedom Than gentle Persephone Listening to your rasping voice Breaking the silence of this dawn Never ending obnoxious noise For whom do you cry little wren? *** July 23, 2020
