Bird In Amber Mascara

Boyfriend sidles eyes around your conversations

  Doesn't he?

  Watching the crowds

  Sentinal fortification



Welcoming party for that new face she is prettier

  Than you?

  More charming?

  Turns out a good etcetera?



In time her conversations would slip past his eyes

  Turning to birds aflock

  In the faces of eyes

  A startled scarecrow



In fields of untouchable corn each riper

  Than the next

  Your inner mascara running

  You sigh in relief



Each night of hands the birds remain aflight

  No sudden talons

  Out of the sexy

  Morning darkness



Romeo get your guns they's trespassers alighting

  On your heart

  In the sexy

  Morning



And coffeeshopsfull of winged bruised downed

  Angelwomen await you

  In the light

  Brief sojourning day



Mascara smeared to their toes inside watching

  The crowded conversations

  She is more desperate than you?

  More demanding?



Turns out a strict etcetere? in time her eyes

  Would be blinded to the orbit

  Of all the parading swans

  Looking only for absent love



In the eyes of a demon a sentinal for that new conversation

  He is more charming

  Than you Romeo

  Get your guns



We're circling the wagons around your heart

  Demonbird aloft

  Wishes

  To fly



Away with you my precious lover

  Slip you from your cornfield

  Feed you

  To her venomous young
