Starlings

How dare the premier
ignore my invitations?

Hell have to go.
So to the bunchy luncheons

with the second on my list of things to do.

At the top youre stopping by your place of work
and acting like I havent dreamed of you and I
and marriage in an orange grove.

You are the only thing in any room youre ever in
Im stubborn, selfish, and too old.

I sat you down and told you how the truest love
thats ever found is for oneself.

You pulled apart my theory with a weary

and disinterested sigh

So yes i guess im asking you to back a horse
thats good for glue and nothing else

But find a man thats truer than,
find a man that needs you more than I.

Sit with me a while and let me listen to you
talk about your dreams and obsessions
Ill be quite and confessional

The violence explode inside me
when i meet your eyes
Then Im spinning and diving
like a cloud of starlings.

Darling is this love?
