The Blackbird skitters a song loud
across silent spaces
filling the void in a heart seemingly empty;
a poets rescue.

take a step
into the all
unknown
sun when slips down west
sky is pink-a-blush
day makes merry-home haste
dies in sullen hush

my eyes dreamily follow
not the meridian star
but in the dusky glow
the flock's flying far!

how they rush together
in twos of clinging pair
ahoy a home is there
waiting in all weather!

the ones roaming on south
run home way down north
leaving their hopes to sprout
on the sunrise coming forth!

the northerners fly to south
end of day's toiled roam
hoping surely no doubt
finding there a cozy home!

Tell me their chirping words
as they fly over head faraway
it's time to pick up the shards
piece them to build another day!
Working to fetch another’s dreamy rotten wood and latch,
It has shown me the cogwheels of living, clearly.
If not for the clarity,
I would have reincarnated already.
I see them.
The Mongrels, cats and cows;
If not for the traps, I’d not be counting the wrinkles due to heavy happiness
on my dad’s cheeks and foreheads
rather than in the vernacular tongue
of not being
filled in the house, as a girl.
Well they meant it,
that she was done with learning and preparing her life for her husband.
She fills the house.
Before she explodes,
you ought to find a dude she can be dropped on!
With some incentives of money. Ya. Precisely!
Exclusively, Je ne sais pas!
