Collage Poem - March 20, 2015

          YOU AND ME BOTH

                 I tried to put a bird in a cage

                that had been sitting at my window

                                                collecting rocks and feathers

                                before the cat removed his head!

                  What deeds has the universe forgotten?

                 the wind I can’t see

                         I know how it feels

                 Nonetheless I came, and I shall stay

                                                my stars just shines too bright.

     Should I tell the truth

     Or should mother hear lies?

                                Come sit in the sun

                     that blank space could only be filled by

                                the gentle rhythm of oars.
