Two Birds

Two birds cry

for what once was.

The innocent lamb decomposes

for she once were

Tossing joy with a painted face

humming without distress

to the two birds who tended her

all for naught.

 

The two birds had watched her succession

turning away from her inevitable passing

Moments wasted now abandoned

Replacing blissful memories

with a duet of Piano Sonata

sung by the two birds

as they attempt to mend the lamb with harmony.

 

Now only one bird cries

for the other must sing

for what once was.
