Sweet Summer Romance Song

The birds picked at the cracked asphalt.
Black and sinister, pecking for rotten remains.
You held my hand on your lap,
and the summer was far too much for me.
The painters on scaffolding two doors down,
were smoking cheap cigarettes and whistling away.
One threw a rock at the pecking circle.
Something beautiful arose just then.
We embraced the silence
as our little squirrel friend
pawed amiably for a bite to eat
but the only food near by
was the blackbirds' festering meat.
The evening was coming fast, fast upon us.
I was glad the heat would end soon.
The night would only get hotter,
if I spent another second with you.
The birds rose up together,
their ebony feathers floating.
Perfect engineering.
The birds, oh my God, the birds.

The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway, is that its you, and that you're standing in the doorway.
I write down good reasons to freeze to death in my spiral ring notebook. But in the long tresses of your hair--I am a babbling brook.
