A hundred little black bird sitting in a tree
All at once they flutter off
Covering the sky
Like a storm cloud
Stale old air
Just hung in the room
When in burst a black bird
Stirring up the air
Like a fan
A polished tombstone
In a decaying graveyard
Forever engraved in the stone
The name of a teenage girl
Whose life was taken too soon?
A black bird perched on top
Crying out at the loss
Of her young life
A mother glides her fingers
Over the smooth finish
Of the new crib
A baby’s eyes stare out
At the black bird perched on the crib
Glorifying this new life
A black bird soars high in the sky
Tasting hamburger
That is thick in the air
At one taste of that sent
The black bird flies off
Too the backyard picnic
Gently landing on the picnic table
Looking ahead he sees it
The barbeque
