"You have to catch up"
they say
and ' they say an awful lot'
Wrapped around a shared time zone
wanting so much to connect
a poet raises their voice,
" Can we sing together? For one moment in time?"
But time has flown so much since your request
and now you must ask for something else.
A man plays poetry on the bark of a tree,
knocking a flint to imitate a Woodpecker.
And the woodpecker of the forest sings loud.
A child has a dream of writing poems,
"and his poems sing like a bird"
