Luyện nghe bài hát The Seabirds

No foreign pair of sunglasses
will ever shield you from the
that your eyelids, the screaming
of the gulls / off the bodies
of the fish, up the bay till it was
red, turning the sky a dark colour
as they overhead.

He swam out to the of the reef,
there were cuts his skin,
on his eyes and arms, but
he could not feel the sting / was
no one to hold him back, no one
to call out his name, dress him
him him home, say 'Little boy
it doesn't to end this way!'

He announced their separation, and
spent the night in a Park Motel
bed, a total stranger lying to him,
rain hitting the root over his head /
She said the matter now lover
boy, has the cat run off your
tongue? Are you to get
maudlin, or to get numb?'

He out to the seabirds 'Take me
now, I'm no longer to die', but
pretended not to hear him, and just
watched him their hard and bright
black /

could pick the eye
from any dying thing lay within
their reach, but they not touch
the solitary figure tossed up
on the beach.
So, were you?
