Life; Under SunA Poem by RFDIII
The sun’s ever-blowing
and reeling in heat while the world still is turning ‘neath privileged feet and the daughters and mothers are all but the same in the game that is life under. So we bound over fence-posts ‘n goals made of gold while the sun still keeps reeling ‘til heat does grow cold, Yet in southern Bermuda a man plays a flute carved of motion, emotion, and hard bamboo shoots. And the sound he emits forces birds all to rise As a sleeping man under a willow tree sighs and the birds that have flown have all left empty coops As a motherless son tends to overcooked soup in a kitchen with tiles and things laid to waste in a garbage disposal devised for it’s haste Where there’s no light at all but perhaps some burnt soup, it’s just life that we live under...
