BLACK SWAN
by Ver Navarro
BLACKBIRD IN A SHADOW OF
SNOWBANK,
IN THE RIVER CHANNEL OF FREE WATER RUN.
A STRANGER COUPLE OF BLACKSWAN, TRAILING AND SWAM.
A MUTE FAMILIAR HEADING
UPSTREAM TO A CURRENT LINE,
BEFORE THE NEXT BLIZARD DRIVING IN TIME.
YOU SHOW US YOUR EMOTION AND GRACEFUL ACTION.
OF YOUR BETTER
SHELVES-SIMPLE BEAUTY,
WITH YOUR BEAK AND SLENDER NECK TROUGH THE WINGS.
RINGED ONCE AS, IF BY RIME TIME,
YOUR RED RIMMED BLACK EYE
GLINTING IN THE SKY,
IS FURIOUS AND WARM AT THE PRIME.
OF MYSELF HERE IN THE SNOW BANK LINE.
I CAN SEE HOW ONE OF US
/YOU TO KNOW,
TOOK YOUR WINGS AND FLIPPED AWAY IN THE SKY.
NOW IS FEBRUARY, NO SIGN OF THAW.
THIS WORLD OF FEAR WITH
STRUGGLE AND SURVIVED,
YOU ARE STILL A BLACKSWAN IN SNOW BANK.
IT WILL COME BACK IN TIME,BLACKBIRD SHADOW OF THE BANK.
