Life and Death

Edit this Page

 

Homing Pigeon


 

She came with the news

          My Little Prince has gone

I stood and watched the snow falling

          face pressed against the misty glass

reflecting tears

          happy for you

at last your miracle has come

          the waiting is passed and you left gently

slipping out and into consciousness

          dipping like flotsam upon a deep wave

 

When last we spoke

          you said you knew you had changed -

‘When this is over...

          I’ll be amazing!’

It is...

          and you are.


 

Orlando! Orlando! Oh my friend!

          ‘they tried to kill you with their eyes’

they tried to bury you in the heavy ways of death

          and dark surmise.

but you refused and broke their spell

          with your unbound love

you went out running on air

          like the Great Chief

and your spirit flew the cuckoo’s nest

          for the real beloved.


Christopher Ryan -
