dead sparrow days

 dead sparrow days


i saw those sparrows

bereft of song

stuck in the melted tar


by the broken grindstone

that once sharpened the knives

of their long-lost song


well there you are

a childhood said

let them lie and rot away


just one day

in black and amber laid

an old man now his due has paid
