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!
