Bird

Sore I soar through sky on empty
dropping tears on people plenty
rain they called it from way down
wailing above
they hear no sound
bird oh bird come by with clarity
sing a song then let go of gravity
I'll feast on your flesh and tuck your bones aside
come out birdy no need to hide
said the Oscar with a gleeful grin
bird thought they sought no sin
flew away to unknown land
swam through seas and traveled through sands
flying with a set of hands
carried feathers gracefully
but do you care oh honey bird
do you understand my words
with a small head and no words back
you'll go and leave me here all black
fly away useless coward
you're lucky I have no superpowers
envy the stretch of your wings
next time maybe i'll make it sting
bird look away for much to see
feathers perked up
plucked them recklessly
danced along to the thunder song
and sky close where birds belong
gleaming lookers smile at clouds
careful bird no looking down
tension pulls your ribs towards earth's core
volcanic eruption are in store
bird fly with sea sick
tripped down by small twig
onto the ground the loud sound
being chased by running hound
fly with a broken ticker
go back home blood is thicker
nest empty and eggs cracked
bird wishes they never came back
weakened by the hard fall
but most of all
the broken bird heart broke further
no nest, no eggs
only smell of bloody murder
