'the birdcage' - mumblin' deaf ro lyrics
out after work
visiting mam
who’s home for the last stage
of palliative calm
we chat away
she tells me that i’m too rough
shaving her itchy head
a practical love
so i help her out
into a comfortable chair
she’s thin as a boy now
and finished with stairs
so we’re settling
into the latest routine
watching ‘the birdcage’
then scrabble till tea
hoping the day
can last till the night
hoping the night
can last on its own
sitting with eyes
red and resigned
watching ‘the birdcage’
months afterwards
while loading the boot
the grief overwhelmed me
subduing my mood
it came unannounced
as suddenly as a sneeze
unresolved sadness
unwrapped and released
and though i accept
my share of life’s randomness
my part in its pities
and all of its pains
i’ve been too long
moping in my own gravy
with life in the background
like a radio play
hoping the day
can last till the night
hoping the night
can last on its own
sitting with eyes
red and resigned
watching ‘the birdcage’
