A Song (Revised)

I want to say this poem with –

dripping harmonicas

and dying birds.

Please. Don’t think me rude.

I’m just the girl

who never felt friction

until your sweaty hand

touched my blue jay skin.

 

Most marvelous piece of luck,

I died.

We ran through fields of mirrors.

Reflecting

Reflecting.

My feathers burst into flame

and I bloomed.

Beads of light,

fractured dew.

I learned the secret feeling of music

inside your teeth bones:

just bite down.

You said.

 

All the knobs of

your warbling voice

sparkle and echo,

endlessly.
