That little bird.

Posted Mar 27, 2022 · 12 lines · 2 critiques

That little bird of muffled song
None may care to listen for
Whose lonely soul it strings along
That breaks with every metaphor

Who chirps inside those heedless ears
And hummed by worn-out hearts
Who finds itself among the tears
That turn themselves to art

That little bird of muffled song
forgotten by every wind
And only when the tune is truly gone
Will they ask of it to sing

on Flesh and bone. from @Candlewitch
"the loneliness almost echos through this piece. it is hauntingly real! it reads like someone writing a suicide note. or at least a farewell letter. the end of the poem is shocking and made me want to call out, "NO DON'T…"
