Here’s a poem for Earth Day. It’s called ‘Birdsong’.
Birdsong There is a bird who sings to me, each morning from the old lime tree. I wonder what he’s trying to say? Stop fucking up. It’s not too late. It’s such a happy, joyous sound! Little bird who chirps so loud And brightens up my day with song. Stop standing there. You’ve not got long. I wish I could translate your words, my faithful, a cappella bird, who sits upon the lime tree bough. And still you wait. You must act now. All’s quiet in the tree today. I think perhaps he’s moved away. There’s silence these days everywhere, the ghost of birdsong in the air.
