Acoustics

dead birds in my ceiling

tiny imbedded wings

they know who's laughing

and who refuses to sing

their beaks are listless

no longer in need of their eyes

their ears are long gone, past

so they don't hear the future's lies

dead birds in my ceiling

tiny imbedded wings

they see when I struggle

they see

everything.
