Starlings

How dare the premier

ignore my invitations?

He'll have to go.

So to the bunchy luncheons

with the second on my list of things to do.

At the top you're stopping by your place of work

and acting like I haven't dreamed of you and I

and marriage in an orange grove.

You are the only thing in any room you're ever in

I'm stubborn, selfish, and too old.

I sat you down and told you how the truest love

that's ever found is for oneself.

You pulled apart my theory with a weary

and disinterested sigh

So yes i guess i'm asking you to back a horse

that's good for glue and nothing else

But find a man that's 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

I'll be quite and confessional

The violence explode inside me

when i meet your eyes

Then I'm spinning and diving

like a cloud of starlings.

Darling is this love?
