Almost Deaf

Almost Deaf



birds are the eyes of God

they tell Him everything

they sing to us too

but we do not hear

angels translate

but they don’t exist

except sometimes

and the souls who

can see and hear

the ones who know

we lock them up

bury or burn them

in fiery bursts of rage

because the chirping birds

are the eyes of God

and we cannot bear

to hear the song.
