Dark Bird Symphony

(foto by Kat Livengood)

these are my words 
eye was born a Dark Bird 
much to my parents dismay 
on the 13th day 
of a Scorpio Moon 
in the Arkansas Ozarks 
Nonetheless 
they took me in 
fed me, clothed me, 
and sent me to school 
eye attempted to live a normal life 
finding employment, trying to marry 
& even voting regularly 
but mostly failed 
until I realized 
eye could no longer 
deny my true nature 
And began 
flipping the tables 
& rattling cages 
folks sayd eye was crazy 
And told me to 
Stop 
(those are the folks who will 
let you know your doing rite) 
but eye knew this 
was an important breakthrough 
and immediately began looking 
for matches & kerosine 
and 
have been settin fires 
ever since
