White Stork

from Clara by Quiet Child

/

about

Clara savours her new life, but has trouble shaking off years of abuse.

lyrics

This morning I watched a white stork gather sticks
Clean it's wing and catch a fish
I had time to wonder...
Had it been carrying a newborn in a sling?
And then I shared a laugh with the crisp morning air

I can feel myself trying to be unhappy
Reminding myself of the guillitine
But you're not getting past the door where you are now

Tomorrow I might go for a swin
Bare-breasted and watch my bruises heal
I'll have time to wonder if the stork had found a mate for it's nest
And I might might sing out loud at the evening star

I can teach myself how to be happy
Reminding myself of my freedom
And maybe I'll think about visiting you soon
