Old bones dance like dragon’s teeth
little birds tweet of niggas, hate and whores
who would have thought such pretty birds
had such dirty mouths
with bones that are sponges
and wings that are clipped
the birds, they squawk
like gulls
with rotting fish hanging
from their gaping mouths
I have my spine
I have my orange crush
and under the burden of the sea
I am weightless
drifting
silent
and patient
as only time
can be
