Vandal Poem of the Day: January 16, 2020

 by John Taggart

There are birds there is birdsong
unmourning and unmournful in the white light

there are birds there is birdsong
having come through hunger and danger
there is
free song a free weaving of many songs

song against song and other songs in a blending of wavy pitches




there are birds there is birdsong
unmourning and unmournful having come through

like the light like
like love never for sale.
