birdsong

by timmyvalentine - Gemini

whats inside of me
fits of hate and swollen lungs
turning on each other
fighting
to get closer to the sun
writhing towards a new wound
a doorway
a hollow understanding beaten, bruised
with friends thrown in 
to make it all worth while.
a neat pillow of white linen
folded nicely with the edges trimmed and turned in
i've been sewn up now, you can come out and see
my sides are all stitched
my bellies full of sawdust
i sleep on a bed filled with hair and straw
doesn't the wind just smell with contentment?
