A Bird Eats The Coffin Poem by Ahmad Rashad Rashad

A green bird was trying to peck its reflection in the water of the red river.
A palm tree protested the coluor of the water and the calm place.
A blind old man led a lame old woman, and there was a child watching the moon.
Four coffins were calling but no one answered.
A dead person refused to walk without a shroud.
A shadow of a legless woman combing her shadow.
The old woman fell down on her back so the river overflowed
The shdow of the legless woman took a bath and borrowed the feet of the dead person to go up the palm tree and pick the moon up before the child awoke.
The old man sneezed, so the palm shook.
Everyone fell into the river.
The shadow remained on the bank, bleeding and calling in vain
As for the coffins, they were eaten by the bird that landed in my heart.
