Parr is Up There

Photo A.M. Moscoso

Swinging from a tree

or swaying near a wall

the man inside the iron cage

isn’t afraid to fall

 

Swinging from a tree

or swaying near a wall

does anyone look up

like he does

watching for the darkness to fall

 

Swinging from a tree

or swaying near a wall

do you know you can

hear his cries

when there is nothing

left of him at all.
