Bird's Eye

Somewhere over New Mexico
I picked up my trail
I've been here before
and recognize the naked feet in the sand.

For years I kissed this sky,
sun soaked and drifting.
Existing in two worlds,
I dissappointed everyone.

But here, in the interim,
my words come back haunting,
borne upon the wind,
a leaf a feather -- all that I am.
Memories in a cloudy script -- all that I have.

But here, above the sand,
is where feet will fall.
