Bye-bye Blackbird

Bye-bye Blackbird! 
Tonight I fly, into the unknown.
The night is thick and laden with emotions.
Lights blinking in the distance.
Misty eyed, I grope in the haze.
Guide me home twinkling stars.
The moon hangs like an old man.
She's tired. 
Like me.
Ripe litchi, sweet on my lips.
My throat is parched.
I need my sleep.

Tomorrow I will hum a new tune.
Bye-bye Blackbird.
Another crow will take your place.
