My bones are like a cage of rust Corroded by years of fire and lust Crumbling at the slightest touch This withered heart It is a flightless raven Pulsing black blood through my hollow No wings to carry it away Just a skeleton of ash and cinders And feathers of dust How I miss those bird songs Playing melodies Of shaking bodies and burning trees The flames are leaves And my love and I dance in the whirlwind Of stars and embers As the vultures circle above us Watching with hungry eyes
