The Last Finch
By cadymae
Singing from a dead treetop
high over the dead world
I
hear nothing echo back
of what was.
All is still and
dead now.
All, save me.
I whistle
up here
to hear
the last
whistle
just
in case
I'm not the last

Y'all are sweet. Thank you for the kind words. I live in FLA. No winter here. Was looking at a very odd magnet I was handed at a festival of a wide-eyed bird. It looks like it just listened to the entire catalog of Floyd and sat down to think about it. So I wrote this. :)

Aw CM it's just the dead of winter and everybody else has flown south. Very desolate in the lonliness, cheers!
