Blackbird, <br />Singing from high tension wires <br />Urging me to sing along <br />Follow the frittering flashes <br />Of smoldering plumes <br />Strung up like notes <br />I should be home by six <br />But it is a pity to miss <br />Bird burning up high <br />Will anyone understand? <br />Asked Billie, what lament <br />The song intones <br />Blackbird strung up <br />In high wire <br />No harder luck story <br />Than this been told <br />Make my bed and light the lamp <br />I’ll be home late tonight<br /><br />Eddie Roa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bye-bye-blackbird-2/
