I dare you, you big black bird
pick me up with your talons
flap your feathered wings
sweep me off my feet
and just take me away
to the far off land, where no
troubles lay, no tears, no
death, no heartbreak.
Take away the blood
in my veins, inject only
a brain so I can twirl
in the wind. Leave out
the heart, for it only hurts,
but let me keep my arms and my legs
so I can dance on the tops of fluffy
clouds or slide down a rainbow.
Let me keep my fingers so I can
dip them into a pot of gold,
glistening with jewels. But carve
out the heart, chisel your initials
let drain of the red dripping liquid.
Just take me.
