the last bird to sing

out of sleep I did not come
Easily. 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 I dread
the last song blackbird weeps.

Grief, many forms many metaphors another powerful performance from your ink my dear marion 💜
I go to sleep early. And awake early too. I must envy the 'Last Bird.' 🙂
Your writing has 'evolved' I cannot put my finger on it, but being away for a bit and coming back to read your fabulous poetry I can see that your writing has evolved somehow. Still as brilliant as ever, of course xx
