Let's just say
there's 60 Million Birds
going about the world
from perch to seeds
and back
and you're waging a war
for all of them.
But 60 million birds
can't fit inside
a single birdhouse
never mind
a heart the size
of a fist.
But the birds
aren't it.
It's all around you
and you're convinced
it's only you
saving them
but maybe
you're only going
to save one bird
for your whole
wasted life
even though
your heart has room
for at least one more.
So you're always searching
for just one more bird
to fill the gap
so your blood can flow
around feathers
and tickle your arteries
until it stops you dead
and then you've got
two dead birds,
don't you?
