Feathers

Are you out
Are you out there?
Smoke’s hurting my eyes
Hurting my eyes
Safe distance, resistance keeps the fire in place — still
You’re burning my feathers
Burning my feathers
Throw your bombs and bury me
In my castle of uncertainty
Throw your bombs and bury me
Bury me
Are you there
Are you listening?
To my heartbeat
I have to retreat
But you’ll always be fuel for my flame
You’re the painting I’m the frame
You’re burning my feathers
Burning my feathers
Throw your bombs and bury me
In my castle of uncertainty
Throw your bombs and bury me
Bury me
