A Poem - The Dead Bird I saw Before

in poetry •  7 years ago  (edited)

Met a babe on the street tonight
Just battered by her boyfriend
Her nerves were shocked
Walking a long distance at night
Trying to get away

Five minutes later I'm told
"There's a dead bird outside"
My mind flashes to images of the woman lying motionless on the concrete pavement
Then I remember
The dead bird I saw before

I've read it twice, but I still don't get it :))

I met a woman who had just been battered. We talked, then she walked. Five minutes later I was told about a dead bird. In Liverpool "bird" is often used as slang for female. So for a moment I thought it was the woman, but it was just the avian kind.

Now it makes more sense. Good use of slang :)

birds are pretty good and earth need them, so protect them and respect too. good meaningful poem.

She was the bird
