The Ghost Bird Poem by john appleby

The Ghost Bird



I watched the light tumble down through the sky,
tangle in branches, flapping in desperation to break free.

Within this tangle, this wild melee of tree and wind, a bird song carries.

Is it really within the rocking crown? I cannot see the singer, just hear the song.

The ghost bird, held in a sycamore cage forever.
