Mockingbird Etude

The mockingbird sings
every morning
and afternoon
and evening

The light pole where he sits
the pinnacle of our street
and the closest point
to heaven or at least
the clouds
the upper atmosphere

Melodramatic?
Sure
Repetitive?
Yep

But his skills
are first chair
every instriment
a winged symphony
of April surrender

inspired by Blackbird Etude by A.E. Stallings
