Kim Rodrigues Poet Verse

Music of the Night

 Is it the nightingale, regaled a muse,
Enchantment of her lips — a poem?
     Her brown-chiffon wings reverberate.
     Nutrients of the earth in her open beak.
“Sing, my darling, of pure sweet pleasure.”
           Palms pressed to their hearts, Hansel and Gretel
           eat up the breadcrumbs of sorrowful souls.
