Love Poem: Birds

Birds

Sometimes you may look and see birds
pecking away at thoughts 
you thought so done,
But they see things within what you 
look at. 
They carry each other beyond the moment of
controlled lustfulness

They feed endlessly when all
inside us dies
They inject a futile wish to endure,
even when truth hits

And then they wilt
As those cryptic souls we craft,
decide their destiny…
