Invisible Strings - 20. "The bird in my mouth" by Blas Falconer

"The bird in my mouth" by Blas Falconer

For Taylor only having one song about a bird, there sure are a lot of bird poems in this collection. I find myself wanting to give up again because I've got no idea with this one. I've resorted to searching "bird in mouth metaphor" on Google. I've searched her lyrics for:

  • birds of any kind
  • the color black
  • singing
  • trees of any kind
  • endings
  • words
  • old

Send help.

I guess I'm picking "Last Kiss" because "end," "words," and "old" all appear in the song and poem. Theme-wise, it sort of works, too.
