One dry dust evening Those times when sun shone pink All across the hill side Flickering on the lake
That's it.
Picture me and my complexes Stumbling in the grass trying hard To breathe. Wanting to last forever But begging to leave. I only questioned my existance In every being of my observance And every time life flickered before me Like sun rays on the lake Shedding pink tones of gold Over everything I saw... And when infant wings fell from their nests I hung them out to dry In metal fish nets From the pine trees And I wanted to pour More life forth In the feeding of pigeons. But they always died And I never knew why But it was my lack of conscious.
Growing up in southern indiana finding the fledglings and taking their lives unknowingly Time after time. 5 6 7 8 9 years old. I don't remember when I realized to water them I only rememeber the guilt.
