YESTERDAY
web | Bravado
Yesterday, we buried the Bird.
She fell suddenly,
as a message from another world.
Had she nested in a cloud?
Was she stricken instantly
by a lightning?
Yet the sky was impeccably
blue and the sun was
shining as always.
We buried her yesterday. No fussing
around, no trumpets and speeches. Simply
dug a small grave.
It takes so little to dispose
of a tiny bird...
