Birds, How Can I Be..

Birds,

How can I be your mind
Dispatching mine sudden behind

Seems, heave no burdening thoughts
And no woes you to pinion in lots

Circling in the encircling space
Fluttering dancing in immense grace

Squeak and screech in immeasurable joy
Surging surfing never to cloy

Happy up there high and high
To the breadth of titanic sky

Soar, soar o'weightless hearts
Weightless I say, on your worriless hearts

Weightless I say unlike mine weighty
Of sobs and sighs wingless and unhappy

On your treads of swift darts
Frail my heart heavy in vain parts

Birds,

How can I be your mind
Dispatching mine sudden behind
