But, I Wanted To Sing – Poem by Eddie Roa

But, I Wanted To Sing –

Rating: 4.9


Sparrows in my mind
Scratching for ort
Stirring a host
Crowding in my bowels
Have the fireflies flown?
From a grumbling cavern
They fly up to
My uptight gullet
Pushing up bile
Tamped down
By peristalsis

Aach, what a sting!
But, I wanted to sing
