BIRD EYE
Bird on a High wire
Wings rest, guileless
Eye of the Journey
poor man stands in line
waiting for yesterday
eye on a dollar
Brain eye of Woman
Sees a bare table top
Tears of a Mother
when the drunk man falls
a dollar if he rises up
clothes on a body
clothes on a body
no one’s home
sound the alarm
some help will come
needles tell him to settle down
snakes and earthworms chase him around
High riding Bird Kite
Falls as a Coffin
Shatters on granite rock
Splintered open
Clothes on a Body
No One’s Home
Sound the alarm
Some One will come

“poor man stands in line/waiting for yesterday/eye on a dollar” great lines!
You give us a bird’s eye view of different elements of society…
