Sometimes

Sometime a while ago like this


I reached out my arms


felt the sun like a charm


around my neck and with


the wind in my hair and the clouds at my feet


I met a bird who sang and told me how to greet


strangers just like this


He said if you want to be lonely


it is okay but just also be comely


and when you turn homely


come back to and look at his


I hugged him close


felt his beak on my nose


and then jumped off a cliff
