Blackbird




The vile youth 

of hearts

both know

they will never

steer apart


beat the anchor

of forgiving mothers

of anxiety on decks

of lustering heart ribs

that never unjustified 

your living clairvoyance


of how dreadfully

the planet burns

underneath

your bittersweet

daydream of 

a sweltering boyband

in lingering shirts

left to knight 

their own bad habbits


And save the world

from drowning

in stigmatic benevolence

that never sought 

a right winged nightlight


Be the Blackbird

screaming in the 

desert

that was a forest


And be known

to have been out there

at least you cried

at least you are 

a wonder

in these backstabbing nightmares 

of times we are in 


Be the left winged soulbird

of the righteous soldiers

of realistically closing in 

on harvests unbeatable

to the noble man of York


Be careful in these 

lingering times


And Beetroot was always something to eat
