if I could just...
by Ginette T Belleand I don't want to be a bird
so I can fly away
I want to be a bird
so I don't have to live here anymore
in this skin
in this tired, pathetic soul
so death would come a little quicker
and no one would care either way
because I would be just a bird
with no one to bury me in the black earth 07/27/2003 Posted on 07/28/2003
