Heaven is a point at the bottom of the bottle
I blaze away the night's smoke
And pull open the door
Smooth my ruffled feathers
He's sitting at the bar in his arrogance
The Master of glass bottles and broken hearts
Deceptive solace
I clutch the smoke around me
It's a long flight and we must be off
Must be ready to shatter stars
A broken piano plays in the corner
My melody comes in broken bars
Like broken bottles
Shall we dance, m'lord?
My feathers caress his face
I'll smother his idle dreams of love
The angels he finds in heaven
Blue lips, red eyes
My feathers catch at his coat
And from his heart a pearl of light
Now begins the flight
I turn with his soul in my beak
My melody plays
I blaze away the night's smoke
And leave heaven in an upturned bottle
I joined the fire dept. here. It's awesome! We've had a lot of fires recently, too. 'Course, I can't do much yet cuz my training is a little less than zero lol. But! It's really neat. I've been to two trailer fires (yeah, house trailer), a factory alarm, and a car wreck. The wreck was the worst, they had to bring in a 'copter for one of the people. A pickup flipped over, quite a bit I guess, two people inside, crazy stuff. Crazy crazy...

Where I live (small town), people and especially youngsters join the fire department just to have fun - not at work but afterwards. Each alarm seems to be an unwelcome interruption of partying and hanging around in pubs^^
They do a good job though. I remember when they rescued my cat, who like all felines was quick to climb lofty heights but refrained from climbing down again and stayed glued on a tree top.
Smart as cats are, they can be incredibly dumb (or maybe they are too sly for the human mind)!
Did the people in the car wreck survive? Must've ben a ghastly sight...

Re 'Crow', birds of a feather :)
one of my favourite birds
wow this is awesome and i would have never imagined you being a fire fighter thats pretty cool stuff. anyway keep enjoying yourself.
To AI:
I'm on on the fire department with Shadow, and we live by this motto regarding felines, "I've never seen a cat skeleton in a tree." ;-)
