The Blackbird Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Blackbird



the black bird knows
places
it has flown all these years
but it is not
telling stories
what is in there?
what is the reason
for coming back?

the black stone
is its king and comes back
again
to worship it

until it takes it
pebble by pebble
inside its beak
inside its heart

and then the blackbird flies again
not coming back

it has taken what it loves
inside its heart.
