Blue Bird
A bird with delicate aqua wings and a hungry beak,
Powers through air as a knife to hot butter,
The freest form of nature,
He is bound by no limits
His home, the heavens
The endless blue
Swooping and diving, a traipse artist
True master of the skies
King of everything-
And nothingness
Commander of himself
And only him self
Alone he glides alone
No protection
No pack to call his own
His calls dance in the wind; teasingly carry in to the distance-never to be heard
A bird with delicate aqua wings and a hungry beak,
Powers through the air as a knife to hot butter
A hunter, with sweat trading down his pale face
Proudly marches on a parade with only himself
The oldest form of man
A ruthless killer
Beady eyes scan the pure blue
His grip adjusts on his long metal rifle
His killing machine
To do his dirty work
A sixth sense activates
Honing in on the blue bird
Raising his gun with out hesitation
He levels his eye with the sight
Positioning it the right way
He follows bird
A careful c*** of the pump
And a light finger on the trigger
A bullet is sent spiraling
In to the atmosphere
Travling faster than the eyes can see it
Reaches the bird
Tearing though it magnificent wings
It rips with ease though its small fleshy body
Exiting the other side the bullet flies on in to oblivion
Blue bird loosens its tight stance- giving in to the weight of the world
Lifeless, it plummets to the ground
Free falling
With a light almost unnoticeable thud it lands
Dead
Soon there will be no trace left
No reminder, no memories
After all who cares
For a lonely blue bird?
A hunter, with sweat trading down his pale face
Proudly marches on a parade with only himself
