hidden birds


in november, remember
the bark we found
the best i've seen around
i understand life today less
than ever
other than it's messy
and never ending
cells bending, mending
their way in and out
obscure routes
taken - shaken up
every moment seconds split up
your sky is lit up by smog
mine by burning logs
it's a travesty,
your majesty
that we must accept
your birds are kept hidden
by leaves and twigs
their sing-songs muted
by rusted rigs
i'll play a jig for
only a centipede- she'll
lead me to the things i need
some tasty weed
to keep me strong
i'll write a song
while i burn my log...
and the crackles
sing along
