Melancholy/Birdhouse/Forearm

Deep blue birdhouse hangs from tree
Shattered by mischief
Unacceptable human work

Which cannot replace the strands that mama laid individually to keep us warm
Protected from the jabs of nature

Just as my forearms try to take the damage to guard my chin.

Deep blue jawline
Shattered by mischief
Two expectable human jerks

Glory be to primitivcy
It this day and age of undirt
Where machines work to build a box for resting wings

Bloody, funny, bone
Dripping down into the cup
Drank by the melancholics

Watching out the window
Waiting for the wrens
Head tucked under fists as elbows perch on table

Hatching such a sigh
Deflecting uppercuts from boredom's nothingness
Shattered by chirps

I asked for 3 words to be thrown at me.
Name something in the room
Name a body part.
Name an emotion.
