Hummingbird

by nicholas-foster

No tables are left unturned Every lesson lazily confirmed But a shattered lock Is the same as a winding clock Both leave you needing air Because there is no freedom here From the battle I can't fear So I mount the saddle Upon her golden shadow It takes me to your door Where I plead my losing case And with wine my bloods replaced So I can hum the words Sung by the nesting birds They sing of you and I Then I shutter at the touch And I slip right through your clutch But you'll return to him And my broken limbs Will entangle once again But soon I'll be born a new And my scowl will perform for you You'll see the show Though you already know It ends with a hallow throne The queen has fled the day To be drown inside the bay Where she'll meet her maker The damnation of our Savior Promises skies of grey Just don't look up.
