Birds that fly

Birds that die,

 

You’re all the same

Restless, rare ravens

They pierce the sky

On moonlit nights.

 

Crazed fears cry

Scared of dreams

You’re all insane

Except I.

 

The birds will fly

Before they die,

 

I ran miles

I'd never seen

My fall

In your eyes.

 

I’ve seen birds fly

I’ve seen them die,

 

So we baptised

The black raven’s back

With white water

Doused the dying

 

So that bird could fly.
