Birdnest Hair

Birdnest hair so slips the dream
A paper boat in heavy seas
Into thin air lost upon on the tidal stream
Another year
But I don’t care
Birdnest hair
Her resolve
Her retribution
Sticks and stones
Dissolution
It’s just me here
Fetal position
Make up your mind
Make a decision
Birdnest hair the frozen breath
Of butterflies I’m out of here
Into thin air the falling star
Slips from my hand she disappears
But I don’t care
Birdnest hair
Her resolve
Her retribution
Sticks and stones
Dissolution
Hands are tied
Fetal position
Is that the time
I must be leaving
