Heartbroken

Crow sings to you
2004-04-25 - 11:38 p.m.

What could I do to you?

I could eat you

I could injest your flesh

and crush your bones

I'm an animal

and I am softness

and I am cruelty

I want more than I could ever need

I take as much as I can

without getting caught

I don't like to pay,

I don't know what coins buy,

but I need my nest of trinkets

because they sparkle

in the sun like life

And when I fall, when I die

they will fall after me

but never decay

because my ashes will

preserve them.

Don't speak

to me, don't touch

me or look at me, don't breath

in my direction

unless you can handle an

eternity of ashes

and buried treasures,

Don't love me unless you

can live without your eyes

in their sockets--

Just coo at me as you pass by..

I'm a pretty, pretty bird.
