Words are the feathers I stuff into my mouth Sealing the tomb where I buried my best intentions Like a peacock bereft of its feathers All fluff and pompousness stripped away When the truth is laid bare It turns out I’m just a skinny bird trying to find another mask

Bird Watching
Words are the feathers I stuff into my mouth Sealing the tomb where I buried my best intentions Like a peacock bereft of its feathers All fluff and pompousness stripped away When the truth is laid bare It turns out I’m just a skinny bird trying to find another mask
