Burb
Birds circled overhead
The grass blades felt individual under
The picnic blanket with
The edges folded over our feet
Because it was getting cold outside
**_You said you loved me_**
And the birds circled overhead
Slowly becoming stars as
The basket was empty
And I was so, so full
**You said you loved me**
And the birds were a swoon but
My cheeks blushed red you said
When I looked at you and
I slept well that night
**_
The birds said they loved us _**
I woke up happy
Because
The overhead birds chirped when
We turned inwards,
Same smiling
Circle birds and clouds
Fingers tracing
and entwining
**_Overhead birds
_**
Love me where you find me
