You look like a bird: can you fly,
me away?
Float on wings of downy light
Feathered wings and bones all
hollowed out
Coasting over seas in the sun rise
Olive branch and nest, made from
the twigs-
Webbed feet not bound to the clay
Grackling all through,
the afternoon
Hearkening the dusk, night coming soon
Scattered to the breeze- we nest
far away
Greying skies remain in spite
Flames crackling the trees, our homes caught in
the drought-
We are wild things that just can't romanticize

breeze

Carried away on the wind
You were propped up on the breeze
To me, to us
There's a pillow you laid your head-
once
but it is cold now
just like the fall- breeze
Echoed 'tween all the treetops
You shone light through the branches
To me, to us
There's a cigarette you drew from-
once
but the flame's died down
just like the one- inside of me
-
Slumped on the stoop
You were propped up on the railing
Just me, Just us
Take your seat on the concrete there,
sharing the night
late in the fall-
on the breeze

You were a bush and I was a burden
You never married
You just rot in the earth
Bones in your branches– your thorns and your brambles
Oh what a simple life
Oh what a quiet life
You are here
In the- dirt
Where things are fine
Where things are- quiet
You were some roses and I was a possum
And I came round sniffing
And sifting through the hurt
Moss in my fur– my ears and my tail
Oh what a simple life
Oh what a quiet life
You're still there
In the- dirt
Where things are fine
Where things are quiet
And I envy you, oh
But I try to hide it
Oh what a simple life
Oh what a quiet life
