Kerri Shying # 3 - and bulbul means heart

Kerri Shying  # 3 after Magdalena Ball #8 High Wire Step in response to Angela Gardner #1 three fragments

 

and  bulbul means heart

songbirds  woke me
this morning   absent  the alarm

no wonder I forget things  
I look down

into a clothes morass 
 see my brain pill

nestling there    
a small synaptic fowl

doing    not much good 
to torn pyjama pants

all of us who take them
wonder

why  make a pill so small   to treat
the loss of feeling    in your hands

sometimes the skull
is a bone cup

holding words
on paper slips

my big dumb hands go diving

in Awabakal
bulbul  means heart
