Pajaro

( b side)

It was a simple song
about
A bird
with string in its beak
to mend a broken
heart.

I didn't have
a broken heart
but I felt I did as
I read the words.

I haven't
been in
love for years-

real love,
the kind you wait for in life.
the kind you lose.

but
no one in a long time,
no one has kept me up at night
no one worth mentioning.

As
I was singing,
I had a broken
heart,
in love with love.

for a moment I had a heavy heart,
then it passed, like a bird off to heal
someone else.

in love with love
and now not even that.
