birds in columns bursting red and brown
settling around you now
and you could not believe the sound of it
hovering above the ground
and when you finally rise
they all fly away
they all fly away
they all fly away
round as a robin egg
coffee and saccharine
soon you are restless again
cardinals and mourning doves
every simple thing you said
and when you finally rise
they all fly away
they all fly away
they all fly away
