    //The Last song//

     The words are getting thin 
    like me, mounting 
    time and ugliness
    and drying up
    like me, gliding
    time and grayness
    and hollowing 
    like me, in a whirlpool 
    of time and tiredness.

    How can I sing
    for the bird
    who flew off an hour ago
    who crossed the fence
    that distinguishes 
    me from my neighbour!

    My words are under arrest
    handcuffed with a freedom 
    that can not cross 
    the barb or a bark.
    the words don’t have muscle 
    those outwit the force.

    It jingles sometimes
    to make me inhale, 
    or exhale puberty
    or walled within a
    asphyxiated memory

    Do I still carry a song
    still to burden my family?
    Or justify an ode to the
    My white inked look!

    I know the bird never knew
    I barbed my fence
    to stop her fly
    forested words
    and gathered around
    the sounds
    to stone at her.

    How can I fetch it back
    when all are exhausted?

    A song??
    Without a bird?
    Impossible
    That could be heard no more.
