Song Of The Bird 2 Poem by Nathan Coppedge

THE HIGH LANGUAGE OF BIRDS

Rumor is, birds are gods.
Before I was a dragon I was a bird.
They speak irrational language.
Their secret is they are responsible.
In a maddening language.
They are gods, because everything else comes after.
Everything we know.
They don't really know music, it is their language.
They know truth.
They sing the future.
The rules of a mad language of truth.
Everything we know comes after the birds.
Just as birds live with mad sing.
