i saw an injured bird
making it's way
through the grass
in my back yard.
i didn't know
how to help it,
so i put out the
last of my cigarette,
went back inside,
and picked up my phone.
1 missed call
i called you back,
you didn't answer.
this morning,
i watched a bird
helplessly search
for safety,
and walked away.
that was the second hardest part of the day.
i don't know why, but i have to have to have to keep you close to me.
i don't want to not know you.
