The corpses of black birds
Collected in shoe boxes
Wrapped in silk scarves
Buried with elaborate care
Holes dug with silver spoons
Last used at Christmas dinner
Wont be missed until next year
Shell notice the scarf is missing
But shell think she lost it
We hover over the newly dug grave
Poor little birds, poor little souls
Out in the backyard under the fence
The smell of dirt in the springtime is unforgettable
