The fallen birdman |
The oldman in the cripplechair Died in transit through the air And slopped into the road.
The driver of the lethallorry Trembled out and cried: “I’m sorry, But his own fault.”
Humans snuggled round the mess In masochistic tenderness As raindrops danced in his womb.
…
But something else obsessed my brain, The canvas, twisted steel and cane, His chair, spreadeagled in the rain, Like a fallen birdman.
