Dream in paper white
Floating away
Off like a bird
Off like their prey
Dream in sheets of red
Paper like they storm
Drink only the best
Don't look so forlorn
Our milky eyes will wake
Startled by their cries
A starling steely eyed
Took off in fright
And flew up past the bridge
Drawn to a high
Parting ways with ease
We drift gently by
And slowly eat our fill
They bring the bodies by
Three birds now calling
Circling the sky
The clouds grew dark and grey
Water mold the dry
Cracked sun split earth
The sand filled our eyes
With hope for something real
Something that will stay
Mirage fill the night
A feast is portrayed
But still our bellies growl
Our chests heave and ache
A longing for a bridge
A longing for escape
But deeper down we fall
Scraping all the way
Let time heal our wounds
Down here nothing stays
