‘Robin’s Blue and Notes of Fruit’ is a competition submission for the Archhive poetry competition ‘Poems of the Modern Day Architect’
Robin’s Blue and Notes of Fruit
The first begins
Tap
Clash. Clang. Swooooooosh.
The second offers
Thump
Clack. Thwop. Crash.
A third joins together they dance
A tango of tandem thrusts ticking time to a tantalizing tempo
Beauty carves pain
Elegance sculpts fear
Air forges meaning
From a bird’s nest, the universe solidifies
Flipping, tumbling, diving
Detecting
Ceaseless digits become decimal
Carrying the weight of the world, the rhythm drones into the night.
Click. Click. Click.
