Poem – Night Song (By Akor Emmanuel Oche)

Night Song

silence sings a silent song silently,
this monody from the diaphragm
of mockingbirds, breaking every
wondering In her synchronized
tune; a wail here, a brawl there,
then a chirp.
birds whistle, -at night, birds sing,
so does mother.
she tunes a wail
for each new burden,
she never opted for this.
papa, you lied.
true lovers don’t die young.
