lyrics

We were giving you back. I wanted to stroke the cavity away. It doesn't just end with the feather-edge or with the woods. Of it and I cradle it so and so. So consumes. The subtle bulbs are changing one by one in the meadow or the freezer room, neither moon nor lamp permits the blur. It crouches me and I want to be inside the wings and I want to be the wings. I forgot who we were in the onliness of eye to eye. Claws tucked softly up to rice paper eyes, I feel the empty ends of scapula gasping at the sky. I'm too small to be alive. Little birds are flying, little birds through the blood, little birds inside the palm, little birds beneath the skin. For always the little bird. Per sempre lo piccolo uccello. For always the little bird.
