Poem -

a tell to the bird

thoughts play out 
Radio       
above my head

a shelf alive
Vibrations + wood
disjointed voices
Utterly wed

I'll be leaving soon

I tell to the air
I am disjointed sound waves
untethered somewhere

I am leaving soon
a tell to the bird
He is pecking the ledge
Industrious bird

radios
Above his head
he will not look up
I don't think he's heard

he is already free

Always glad to hear from you, aswell.

 Now, then. More cream cakes? I've just put the kettle on and am trying to decide upon chocolate éclairs or something more doughnutty. Perhaps a big slice of victoria sponge made with real strawberries and cream?  A cream slice?  Xx

Younger me

Disjointed voices

Is that like disembodied voices, I wonder?
The most fucked up, schizophrenic thing
Known to man! 

You're a disjointed voice, not being heard
Or taken seriously?

And if birds weren't made to be free, I would 
Keep one, or two, just that I could never 
Clip the wings. 

This poem in the distinctive voice we all know 
As yours

Great comparison of a radio and
our racing thoughts. Birds must hear disjointed voices, I agree. Poor things! At least country birds 
have it easier. Take care Marion.   B
