The magpies crown the north hill.
You set your nets to the south.
They black the air and fly free.
What good are your nets?
When two blackbirds fly together,
they do not envy the phoenix.
(Or do they?)
And I am so common.
So common.
But I am not afraid of you anymore.
And I do not envy you.
And I am not afraid.
I am not afraid.
I am not.
I am.

Revisions. Stripping up and stripping down. Seeking escape through any chimney and the absence of any escape. Shoes brimmed with blood and the straight fucking facts. You're losing me. You're losing me. You're losing me. This time, we swear: we'll try to get it right.
