The Modern Siren
Posted: March 1st, 2015, 11:57 am
Toward the end of an early evening,
a strange bird straight out of poem
or old song alights atop a Park Safe
signage down on Rhode Island Avenue
and sings its own doleful song
for those who have been wronged.
Anyone who listens strips and lies
prone-naked on hard red bricks
ashamed, not touching, as if God
himself knew what each was thinking.
