My Favorite Things
Fallen Birds
Compromising fates, they said to me as I weave
I want nothing more than to heave
The gruel the mother sent to me for breakfast
Yet the smell of pineapple comes from my skin
And so I know that I can begin again
I don’t have to sit and weep my tears of oil
Black as the sea in the utmost turmoil
As I see the ducks falling around me
I cant help but cry for their fates
Yet my tears add to the worsened state
I must act now, for the storm grows colder
Hungry for the music that I am
But my fingers are sure, and my voice is pure
I catch the birds as they fall from the sky
And begin to fight the origins to the answers of Why
