Rebecca Hall Poet Free verse

The Cuckoo Ifl

Cuckoo, he cried

as he crept into my bed

and stayed there,

stretching

to fill the space



Cuckoo, he cried

as he crept into my house

This is my space too now

Make sure

to keep it clean



Cuckoo, he cried

as he crept into my kitchen

You should have it arranged

like this

Don't forget now



Cuckoo, he cried

as he crept into my living room

and faced the screen, unmoving

I'm here

Ain't that enough?



Cuckoo, he cried

as he crept into my body

You're not fertile today, why do we

have to

use a condom



Cuckoo, he cried,

as he crept into my head

Are you sure they're good people?

Watch out

they scheme, you know



Cuckoo, he cried

as he crept into my heart

I like you, he said

Let's not

rush in too fast

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
