Give me just one
one moment of pure joy
wonder
pure love
just a needle’s head
a reversal of time
let it sink into my bones
that pure love
even if
it destroys me
I walked to the big aviary in the park
you could hear the noise of all those beautiful birds from miles away.
I walked right up to them
then as if they all hold just one voice
they stopped singing and were perfectly quiet.
I don’t know what they saw that so scared them
there was nobody else there but me
but they didn’t make a sound.
