Crumbs in your hand,
a bird will peck, hurting you
not because it wants to,
not because it was 'brought up like that'.

Coloring the night sky,
as if ink drops blooming through water>
A red tint, bright and obnoxious to the time.
Set out to set light on my shortcomings.

A night without you,
a sheep without its shepherd.
Although, this night has come,

Crumbs in your hand,
a bird will peck, hurting you
not because it wants to,
not because it was 'brought up like that'.
A bird eats, not to cause pain.
The bird is hungry.
So it eats
not understanding that hurting that hand
will make it leave.
