unchanging

a lack of growth
can you tell me why?

tell me why
i cannot see that bird
for what it is.
i see a bird,
but i don't see the blood red
streak across its back.
i do not see a creature
of flight.

tell me why
i cannot say
what i need to say.
i cannot prioritize
and try
and succeed.


left unchanging,
a constant late night feeling.
