in lieu of repairs

this is pretty obvious, right? if i gave too many details it would just be me admitting to crush. 

i only do that when i'm drunk, i know that by now.

in lieu of repairs

there was a bird
flew away with my string
before i could finish piecing
my back together

my stitches were lost
to build new nests
in trees i climb only
in my dreams

a make-shift spy branch
has little use when grounded-
when twigs can't restore
their connections with lost leaves

so i stay perched
and lie in wait
of a breeze to float
me up to where she sleeps-

dangerously close to the rest of space
