Shudder Like Crows

Huddle close as
Breath suspends
Encircle us and
Never end

A quiet life where
We can blend
Hidden thoughts
With sweet lament

And we shudder like stones
And we shatter like bones

All the love that
Is denied
Rushing in and
Running by

How we like to
Ease the itch
Nothing left to
Bury it

How we like to
Soothe the sting
Nothing left but
Everything

And we shudder like crows
And we shatter like homes
Like bones
Like bones
