Crime of Passion

Though my soft, floured heart were of beating bread For each raven to peck crumbs in morning Bleeding from wheaten wounds, I do, instead Loose each door, pull back curtain adorning First light, through open window, in you fly A yellow songbird with speckled, pale breast Though sweet your voice and innocent your eye An empty plate now lies within my chest For you thieve bread from hunger, like the rest
