eagle kills me in a moment of war
eagle! what have we fought for? well, it's all ended now, i suppose. now, there's nothing left. it's cold. you've killed me! was life just a fit of passion? we made love out of anger, eagle. you remember everything we've done together, eagle. what did it all mean to you, eagle? you think, eagle, "it'll come to me someday. like a train comes to a station! like a bird to it's nest. i am the eagle! i know it will show it's heads to me. i'll come and find it anyway." but, oh, eagle! there's so much you don't know. some things you will never know, and you'll never know me now that i am dead. war is over, but you will still die. fall to the ground, a body in the sand, there'll be stories of you i'm sure. but in the end, you've died. the world turns without you. some see your body and think thoughts of sadness, some see your body and think thoughts of joy. most will never see your body. before now, and after you are rot, there are people there. and they'll smile and laugh and drink and dance without you, forever and always. when the universe collapses, there will still be dancing and drinking. but there will be no "you". despite all this, it is still today, and you are the still the eagle. you fly and kill and chew on what's given and you take what isn't. you are the eagle! you are strong. look to me, eagle, tell me of your strength. put your wing around me, and carry me to the end of this war.
EAGLE LOOKS AT Me, with eagle eyes.
my body is cold. i've already died a thousand times, eagle hasn't heard any of my words. it moves on, to kill another, eagle turns to rot sooner than i. but we don't rot together, we don't dance or drink, eagle has gone too far and killed too many. eagle knows no dancing. eagle isn't much fun. what did i try for? eagle was only the last thing i saw before i died. i'd say anything to keep something around with me. eagle has moved on. eagle is in the afterlife, i still dwell on myself. eagle understands itself. and eagle is dead, and i am dead, and the world is not dead. the world moves without me. there is smiling, laughing, drinking people without me. those i drank with, they'll move without me. i couldn't have moved without them, oh, god! eagle, come see me again. grant me the closeness of your blade, i want the rush of your talons through my heart one more time. kill me again, eagle. kill me more than last time, eagle. my blood pours out on you, it feels like something, it feels like i existed for something. i was here for you to kill, eagle, don't you see? will you please see it like i do? just for a second, you've never seen me how i see me. eagle, i've seen you, i've seen your wings outstretched and beautiful. eagle, you make me cry, i want to see you again, eagle, your talons are sharp and oh, god, eagle, how they have hurt me. eagle, i loved the pain. i never loved the eagle, but i loved the hurt the eagle brought.
