each day I am bird glad.
hassling the sky
as it flies
straight
and believing my
enemies colour
blind.
I am whistling and hooting
the air into
moulded proper shapes
(even now.)
one startled day
I will inhabit
that kind place
as secure and comfort
able as a frenzied can
opy of
soft
falling
songs
in delicate passage.
each invisible day,
(then,)
I will be sure
of my flight,
endless ly
twitter about some may be
destinations.
each
new
bird
day,
my community of
hollow bones
will finally, gladly,
suffice.
29.0: PASTORAL
