Birds Chirping In Distance

still green water stirs mesmerizes

in the why

a sun makes its escape

over burnt fields

provokes me

why sun

relentless sun

again again

wind spills failing light

teasing at these ecstatic trees

what sky what day delivers this confusion

lifts at its brightened skin

crashes into a tangle of what ifs

could have beens

risking nothing she sees

through this curiosity

of what was once me

sees this hidden this

a lyric with birds

murmuring in

a distant

place
