One Bird To Call Your Name

beautiful
fuzz bass solos
like the sun going down
and birds and butterflies
dithered into clouds
in the autumn sky

one invisible bird who will not leave you
one big bird who will hear you when you cry
one white bird that signifies everything
one black bird to fly away when you die

no glow remaining
dim lights and clicks and whirs
just a sign that says
"24/7 do not disturb"
dreaming past heaven
and the future
where its all just as well
where mountains are
blown down into dust
and the greatest
trees fell out
in disgust waiting
for an ambulance
to come.
