Birdfood

lyrics

bend at the knees and
my being's freezing
doubt leaves me little
space for believing
bend at the knees and
my being's freezing
sour no sweetness
them bees be fleeing

purple's on my thigh
black is in the sky
my bed's neglected
ain't getting shut-eye
purple's on my thigh
black is in the sky
the sun has not yet
decided to rise

I sit for ages
cross legged on red rug
slowly sipping room
temp tea from blue mug
thoughts between my ears
like messenger pigions
taking little bits
of my brain with them
feeding my brain to
their little bird kids

if there's a god like
Katie says there is one
who in conversation
sounds like the ocean
creatures got their kin
trees have got their limbs
the universe is
claustrophobic without him
