We apologize for mis-copying the poem last month from Bert Webster-- misread a whole line--sorry, Bert!  The correct version is below:

Aria

Who shall sing when the songbirds are all gone?

A lonely car sits on its back with a wheel slowly turning. Broken glass.

From the car a beautiful Aria is heard

A sound seemingly not from this world

Who will hear when there is no ear to hear with?

A battery dies, the song stops, and in a long moment the car turns into something else

A songbird sings.  Who is the who that sings?

From beginningless time we come

And to endless time we go.
