The Bird in my Dreams Last Night

maydanae

Last night

In my dreams

I pictured a small sparrow or finch — Bright as its calls,

Knocked down, on the ground

Brushed itself off; I flinch

As it starts to peck that same ground

Progressively faster

Post-robotic and unnatural

Similar to when a high voltage is applied

To a children's animatronic toy

My heart beats in pace

Just Thinking about it

Thinking about what it

Could possibly mean

    A lovely write of an observation and the questioning of its meaning. So poetically put.

      Thank you, Soren, I always look forward to reading your comments on all my poems. Thanks for being a very small but mighty staple in this chapter of my life.

        The pleasure is all mine
