Bluebirds

Bluebirds with cigars outside my windows
Songs mixed with rasp and tobacco
Smell like wood stoves and grandfather jackets
Bluebirds in bowler hats 
Feathers of blackbirds about the brim
Satin like the night sky but worn like a heart
Bluebirds with cigars outside of my window
Azure wings pushing trills of dark smoke to the sky

    Did you know that, when you read me, I am made of memories
