I dreamt you were an
owl,
  You called me pigeon
                 Because I knew how to
hide
                    
  I woke
you kept leaving me
for the night.
You said night
made you wise,
it’s the kind of
darkness you came from
                      
        that’s why  you go back to it. 
                                    
in the night -
              I puffed up my chest
                           slept with all my hope
                  balled on the ledge of a broken window,
              I had to get warm without you.
           still thinking I could fly -
knowing the closest
thing to me
                                                          was your shadow.
