I Can't See Me

Birds display 

their plummage

before the storm,

And I can't see them 

any more.

And do they even 

do that anyway?

I don't know. 

Think I'll double down:

Birds display feathers 

Like flags as weapons

And I can't see them.

Drape myself in 

pre-ordained

colors and revert

to self hating.

And I can't see me

Any more, any more.
