Fresh Air From The Age

Grey Mornings

¨Grey Mornings¨

I awoke on a wet lawn in sickness,
With a bird a few feet away from me.
I was somewhere I had been before,
I knew this because I´d seen that bird before.

I´d seen this bird the day my mother died,
I saw it when my father broke those dishes,
I saw it in the cinema at the end of that movie,
I saw it on my grandmother´s tombstone that afternoon.
