i. as soon as you wake up like a hummingbird
you hope to see
something else came home last night
waiting in a hurry you've got to let me in
i came here to give you honey with a distinct smell to it
for you to drink -Â that's enough
i've had a certain control although
it was kinda heavy in my hands
aren't you even sensitive to it?
it's much better now
tell me i'm home alive
that's my house reflecting off the tears,Â
just stay on the path
keep on moving
don't go past the vague edge of the memory
stay away from insidious roadside diner consequences
the truth is nobody's ever been you to me before
and i've got nothing to say to god or zoo animals
we were coming in the afternoon
you and i on the count of five
just go in and with curious care and discretion
accept the risks of flying that far
then get the hell out
or something
ii. they returned my husband as a decoy
they treat us like strangers
they thrive on it
we don't know anything
looking around the northern yellow sky
this place, oxygen, memory, clouds, weeds
the wreckage, the beech grove
have all gone
remarkable nature to fold under intense pressure
i've never seen anything
do you think we could see?
there's something i didn't tell you
about a thousand times suffered
but at what cost
why wouldn’t i?
you'd think it was sacrificing
that is not my husband
nobody talk to him
that is not my husband
this is an erased man, the wrong man
who are you
if we ever arrived we would shake and suffer
physiologically incapable
they warned me -Â i knewÂ
but i can’t remember
iii. excuse the redbird flapping their wings against the car
just hovering honestly at those speeds, quietÂ
they can't manoeuvre like that
too high
we'll be there in half an hour
not immediately
i got your message but
it's gone, they took it from me
a sad story but
my privacy does not exist anymore
this is not a lapse
neither seen nor heard from
only your inconclusive lives, stoned and unanswered
a long way from precisely human design
making a far more deliberate hole than the one in the fence
in everything with two wings
sustained you
they're not supposed leave without fishfood flakes and basic technology
tell me if you need anything in hell
