Finding a home

blazing hair and silver fishies

stormy blue eyes filled with wishes

A city made out of strays is vicious

The way they bang the door to misses

The ways these cries are always listened

luck strewn onto those in the city

The way she makes coffee is so pretty

Tell me she loves me more than pity

For I have a soft smile and fangs

I wander behind a growing plague

I barely know my own legs

These city lights a blended haze

The way they walk me now

How the past one's fried eggs

Yet we always behave

risking for ones whom don't; enraged.

Avians to Sapiens Sapiens, we resemble chickens

the most, comatose and rickety. We get crippled.

Finding comfort in arts ghost.
