across the sky,
all the birds
are leaving.
i thought i saw you
begging for coins
by the subway.
i had to leave.
oh yeah
and the beggar,
turned out it wasn't you.

my collar bones
feel like ash
now,
i've been sitting
at this window
and i am stiff.
the paper is rippled
and warped.
i tried to write--
i
tried.

but i never got
the words right.




in the end
we were just two fools
who hadn't said enough.
one.
i like the idea of waterproof things.

two.
i am foolhardy child.

three.
there is nothing better than a sunrise enjoyed on a roof with some tea and a good friend.

alternate title: to con my heart.

edit: changed some stuff around.
