Blue Eyes, Blue Eggs, Lost LoveA Poem by Chris Shaw(Diamonds and Rust) Joan Baez, Bob Dylan romance
joannie struck a chord
sang the saddest of songs of a revisiting ghost when the moon was full she sang about bobbie in soulful soprano voice diamonds and rust, lost love a haunting of sorts she sang that his blue eyes were bluer than robins eggs i remember those eyes knew it to be true and though i had never seen a robin's egg, one was hidden for sure in a nest in the ivy outside our back door for the robin diligently entered with juicy grubs when it was safe to do so when no one was looking until one morning i found on the unforgiving ground a fledgling, pathetic cold in its half made vest i watched the distress of the returning bird heard its anguish saw it take off for good my thoughts caught joannie was she pushed from the nest or did she fly away of her own accord
