I'm not sure on this one, but its posted so have fun with it I suppose.
There’s a bluebird inside of me
That warbles when a worm
Is swallowed by my bloating corpse
That aches with every burn
In ink it strikes a double chord
And signs an animal
That’s taken as a captured man
No longer seminal
My smokeless song went riding pale
Unbridled on a swine
I gamboled in a drunken dell
And quaffed with rotten rinds
My curses reeked of father stuff
That seek to strangle signs
Of trilling birds that fly to whirs
Of buzzing power lines
And so I see my brother now
Who rolls across cement
Pretending he’s an invalid
To beg another cent
Embracing with a distant word
I coax a cracking voice
From out a fragile door he begs
and fades as vacant noise.
Away from him I see a duct
A woman charged with life
Unclipped and free the bluebird flies
To feel itself deprived.
