Birds On A Wire Poem by Charl JF Cilliers

Birds On A Wire



Truth is not something one can easily share.

Who would think there could be beauty there:
black smudgy annotations stirring
on long loops of sagging shining wires:

then, as if on cue, choirs
of musical notes went winging
away into the unmusical air.

I heard only the insistent word…Where…?

Why? Why? did you not hear
me say quickly, come quickly – over here
