whitebird

Posted on August 20, 2015 by wongswyn

does he resent
how songs are mostly sung
for blackbirds
in the dead of night?
A vertical photograph of a seemingly solitary, mostly leafless tree with intricate branches extending upwards against a clear blue sky. Upon closer inspection, a small, white bird is perched delicately on one of the upper branches. The ground features dry, golden grasses and low vegetation. The image, taken in bright daylight, offers a visual counterpoint to the poem's themes of blackbirds and night, and the presence of the small "whitebird" becomes a key element.
