Exhaustion

Rating: 4.6


a persistent and expected guest
seldom speaking aloud within
the soul I once considered rowdy
and devised of the songs of birds

in concert with my guitar strums he sings
the tremulous feathered melody within
I walk heedful of the fluttering
of the tearful translucid wings


from Parting/Departing (2015)

Intensity in the expressions about song of a bird is laudable. Congrats on the poem of the Day.

guitar knows to cry, knows the pain and sorrow of player the tone and tune want to escape to too far unknown, and unknown crossing the horizon.....///
