Poem: Blackbirds

Have you seen the blackbirds
soaring through the sky, 

little "Ms" scribbled on 
chalkboard by a child's hand. 

They would search the entire 
alphabet to find the perfect 

letter. Their wings clean dust 
from the clouds where love sleeps 

when the earth removes her
from tangled vines and misery. 

The birds can only watch and wait,
as she floats upon her pillow 

of dreams. Meanwhile, lovers pace. 
Hands shoved in deep pockets 

where words disappear like coins.
Wondering where love went 

and if she will ever return again.
