these birds
will fly
warm like skin
in car rides
& days before
death
photo frozen
in youth
moments not
fading or aging
in the mind
scenes revisited and
revisted again
these birds
outlaws in some
way or another
driven by visions
and/or drugs
to make and
break reality's
windows rearranging
the shattered glass
forming new patterns
these birds
take off
already shattered
