Crow/Swallow |
| My mind may drift from the walls of my skin |
| But I will not wander too far |
| For those who are pulled by the ivory sun |
| Know that home is a labor of fire |
| And I may have nursed their honey-bright wounds |
| And cradled their rhythms to rest |
| But I am no dreamer |
| I could not keep my hands clean |
| So I will not grieve those bent to receive |
| Seeds that could never be sown |
| And I will not lust those courtesies past |
| They have flickered but not chosen me |
| And when they march by in their motherly smiles |
| Swaying their motherly hips |
| I cannot follow |
| I cannot keep their pace |
| Time has a way of stealing our breath |
| And milking the light from our pores |
| And many will fill their oak barrel wombs |
| With patience instead of desire |
| One cannot curse a crow for her course |
| Or choose where her feathers may fall |
| I am no swallow |
| I am no spring bird |
