House Fire
you make me wanna scream
you make me wanna run
this bird that flies
and infiltrates my mind
the exquisite nature of the bird is truly special
the way it’s wings flap in the direction of the wind
the way it’s delicate body lands in a puff
but the birds talons are sharp
the prickly haunting nails scrape against the power lines
causing surge and fire we
but amongst this fire there is calm
the one untouched spot in the middle of the field
in that spot there lies a single flower
untouched and wilting
patiently waiting to be engulfed
and so the bird watches
with a lovely grin
wilted flowers are dying
and death is the bird
the bird burns so brightly
only to be reborn
as that bird that flies
and infiltrates my mind
