I’m impressed by modest birds
their wings and their way to fly
picking up their hollow knees
ignoring those looks of mine
though we know the way they need to get to where they’re going
home they’ll stay forgetting all the worst that followed them
..the modern words
are meant to open up eyes
but despite all hidden feeling
interest is waning inside
I’ll go, I’ll find, I meant to carry wind back for them
no they turn their backs and slip away
though we know the way they need to get to where they’re going
home they’ll stay forgetting all the worst that followed them
the modest birds
their wings and their way to fly
looking up so honestly
intending to make it alive
