There were cars with wings 
shot from the sky and falling
into pools of gasoline;

We dodged the debris to find our way
beneath the shattered overpass; 
lights kept flashing on your face
and you knelt, and I knelt.

Your arms cut off the world
as they circled around my neck 
and I could see, between us, 
these radiant greens again;
this beautiful nature 
we've been losing all along.

I know about those wings beating 
against your breast; I could hear
your wings beating beneath 
all this skin.

And I'll tell you as my lips 
say nothing through your tongue: 
don't worry about vast spaces;
There are chickens running loose
in the streets!
