Like Cockatoos
She walked out of her house
And he was standing
And kissed his feet she fell
"There are a thousand things" he said
And in her head
And looked around
At all the gardens that looked
Back at her house
Like all the faces
That quiz when you smile
At the corner
Where the road turned dark
A part of shiny wet
Like blood the rain fell
Black down the street
Her head an inch away from heaven
And her face pressed tight
And all around the night sang out
Like cockatoos
"I'll never say those things to you again"
And turning on his heels
He left a trace of bubbles
Bleeding in his stead
A picture of the boy who left her
Lonely in the rain
And all around the night sang out
Like cockatoos
