blackbird mist


protruding from the sea of mist,

a blackbird on a pole

singing another desolate tune

on this weary day


it was calling to its friends

hidden in the fog

but it revealed itself to me

no other


it eyed me skeptically

but I still called out in tune to my ancestor

the shock, or maybe the look of curiousity

was clearly displayed


we called back and forth

some unsure information

all that was truly known between us that day,

was that we leaned much more than we knew



back
