The Fairywren

The high-pitched sound in my head,
those insects you eat, you will never be unfed.
I see a small flock of birds,
with a dark blue throat, as I wrote in a sticky note.
I find you in open woodland,
where there are horrors.
Striking bright blue head,
with a black mask.
I see you fly away,
when you come back you die in my arms.
Tears drip down out of my face to yours,
I lay you down in the woods.
I wanted to look for cures.
