night birds

She woke to dissolving images
As night birds squeaked in the dark
The burning gas streaked across the sky
Steady to the ocean

A gash, a tear clear across the heavens
Yellow light seeped right through
And seeking flight up and out of darkness
Many wished to follow

Then they stole upon us
No bluster, no guile, no disdain
And they spoke before us
Showed their pity

"We will love you" is what they said
With our words and with every move
"We will love you" is what they said

Without intention they staged an intervention
To none it occurred to resist
What institutions? They posed no grand solutions
What fight? They raised no fist

What a dream, she thought
What a pretty idea
Back to sleep she fell
To the echoes

"We will love you" is what they said
With our words and with every move
"We will love you" is what they said

We will love you
We will love you
We will love you
We will love you
