**spiral**

We are briefly birds, you and i  
Hawks specifically  
Our wings flap around each other, talons locked  
As we spiral to the earth, i cling to you

The brown in our feathers is similar  
They mingle in our twist and turns  
We begin and end in the same place now  
Our wings beat against the falling sky

As we tumble towards the ground  
You let go just in time  
If you had not done so  
Our feathers blood would stain the ground

The blue caresses our wings again as we soar  
The ground would have been kinder to me still  
You and i are birds, if only briefly  
If not that, i don't know what else we are
