First Line: Boys flying kites haul in their white-winged birds
Last Line: But god himself can't kill them once they're said
Subject(s): Finality;language; Words;vocabulary


Boys flying kites haul in their white-winged birds,
You can't do that when you're flying words.
Careful with fire is good advice, we know;
Careful with words is ten times doubly so.
Thoughts unexpressed sometimes fall back dead,
But God himself can't kill them once they're said.
