collage – ti-ri-ol

 

ti-ri-ol

the sky
so grey
it is white now

ti-ri-ol

the tree so bare
is a black
silhouette
against the sky

against the white

ti-ri-ol

the green
of the base
is flecked
littered with brown

becoming
the black

in silhouette
against
white

ti-ri-ol

magpie
walks on the green
stirring
the brown

and then
is the singer
high up in black

ti-ri-ol

ti-ri-ol

against white

ti-ri-ol

grey
hanging
still
is the sky
