Bite Birds as They Feed

By Bella Butchery

Bite Birds as they feed

Her curves upon ashen fountains

Horizon
              Horizon

She waits for you in a dream

Pass upon her lips
Torn on the sides
By the seams

Just to give us a single moment
                             before it seems 
We are both afraid

                                         Different
                              Shades of grey
                      Still make shadows

                        Wrapped in sheets
                                     Hold hands
               With fingertip flashlights
                              You tiny ghosts

A golden seed
Little angel

On music and love
                    We fast

He who splits blue seas
Be your pumpkin boy
Spitting seeds
And the one
Who bleeds
