Shrike

I couldn't utter my love when it countedAh, but I'm singing like a bird about it nowI couldn't whisper when you needed it shoutedAh, but I'm singing like a bird about it nowThe bites hung aboveBut never would formLike a cry at the final breath that is drawnRemember me, love, when I'm rebornAs a shrike to your sharp and glorious thornI had no idea on what ground I was found inAll of that goodness is going with you nowThere, when I met you, my virtues uncountedAll of my goodness is going with you nowDriving alone, following your formHung like the pelt of some prey you had wornRemember me, love, when I'm rebornAs a shrike to your sharp and glorious thornI fled to the city with so much discountedAh, but I'm flying like a bird to you nowBack to the hedgerows where bodies are mountedAh, but I'm flying like a bird to you nowI was housed by your warmthAnd I was transformedBy your grounded and givingAnd darkening scornRemember me, love, when I'm rebornAs a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
