This is so sad I say As I proceed through the same tunnel A kaleidoscope ride A reflection of city lights on too-tight walls And too-quiet places ABAB my favorite sequence when echoed and regurgitated a mother bird Consuming her own eggs In a backwards kind of nesting. Heaps and heaps Of glossy cotton fields The way you look at a photo under red water After its taken its own time to wilt In its antique frame Where pretty words Can't mean pretty concepts Thinking I finally understand What a ******* breath feels like Getting trapped between two lungs.

Little Bird
This is so sad I say As I proceed through the same tunnel A kaleidoscope ride A reflection of city lights on too-tight walls And too-quiet places ABAB my favorite sequence when echoed and regurgitated a mother bird Consuming her own eggs In a backwards kind of nesting. Heaps and heaps Of glossy cotton fields The way you look at a photo under red water After its taken its own time to wilt In its antique frame Where pretty words Can't mean pretty concepts Thinking I finally understand What a ******* breath feels like Getting trapped between two lungs.
