Parting Birds

I am here outside

Watching the dark leaves reflected by the dark sky

No barks, no street noises

All I hear is the sound in my head

All I want is to watch sunsets

But I’m late

Maybe tomorrow

I can see parting birds

I know it’s a goodbye

But it’s avoiding the fears of the night

Maybe tomorrow

It’s not late to feel that way
