Bird In A Piano Poem by Leslie Philibert

Bird In A Piano



You are a bird in a piano
Atonal with broken wings
panic flight of triplets

That hammer both lacquer and bass,
Lieder of a bloodied beak
and shocked, artless eyes;

All the notes you play
Are glued with flightlessness
the tone of air stolen
the sky closed and dark.
