songbird

2 second armageddon
 
in the exit wounds that were my eyes.
i clenched my teeth down on the hundredth bullet.
 
see your solar eyes, sweetheart.
if you could see without them,
we would see each other.
 
i remember the day i learned  
that we were doomed.
 
 
where the sky ebbed
and the end of days began.
 
 
my eyes were green then.
but sometimes brown.
 
 
i could stare at you for days
and never see you.
 
 
i heard
the dead arpeggios  
of a songbird.  
 
i heard the buildings burning
and falling somewhere in the distance.
