Passenger Pigeons |
Ever since you moved out |
I’ve been living in the park |
I’d rather talk to the wind |
Than an empty apartment |
And I wish I could forget |
How a billion birds flew in |
My hollow, dying heart |
The first time I touched your arm |
Once there were a billion passenger pigeons |
So many flew by they darkened the sky |
But they were clubbed and shot, netted, gassed and burned |
Until there was nothing left but vines of empty nests |
I can’t believe how easily |
A billion birds can disappear |
The park is empty now |
It’s so cold out |
And all the paddle boats |
Are covered up with snow |
Once again it’s dark |
The electric lights snap on |
But I’m still sitting here |
Drinking frozen beer |
And throwing potato chips |
Into the white snowdrifts |
Just in case a bird decides |
To fly through hinter night |
I can’t believe how easily |
A billion birds can disappear |
Oh, I can’t believe how easily |
A billion birds can disappear |
