the red eye distrusts you
blinks not once, missed its cue
allows you time to craft the truth
I predict the rain
to keep things dim
to keep the stillness, hush
sleep birds sleep
ten minutes pass, if that’s your wish
out you step holding on to a kiss
quickly leaving the night
swiftly moving through the rain
back to the nest, rain ruffled feathers
I am singing from within
the truth in the melody
came before the haste
moments before the red eye sighed
