Poem -

the last bird to sing

out of sleep I did not come
Easily.Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā I heard the sun.
whispering of bloody things
It turned its face I saw its grin

and vigilant I spend the hours
Taking stock of awful things yet
Terrified again to sleep IĀ dread
the last song blackbird weeps.

The truth finally crawled out of its grave—
you never loved me.
