bird yelp


listening to a late night heavy metal program
on community radio
in
my backyard
as
I write poems
some
poor unidentified bird cries out from the sports field
adjacent my fence.

cries out for what reason I don’t know.

it is like a desperate yelp.

but
tomorrow
if
it is still alive
it will fly
above us all and beyond this island.
