My Best Friend Birds


 My Best Friend Birds

Yesterday, as usual.
You've walked where we've walked
You're sitting on a bench by the beach
You've lit a cigarette, you're far away.
You've never laughed, you're sad again
Your eyes were full for a while.
He bought a bagel from a roadside bagel shop
You shared half of it with the seagulls.
You're cold, you've got cold hands.
Your nose is all red
Then you slowly made your way home.
You stopped by the supermarket to pick up some groceries.
You said something from the outside.
You've been spinning in empty rooms
You've listened to some music, read some books.
You scribbled something with a pen and paper.
And again you shared your loneliness with the nights
How do I know all this?
Birds... Birds are my best friends
They watch you every day, they bring you news.
Maybe one day you'll go away
Maybe you'll be far away
But the birds will always be with you
And they will carry your scent to me...
