birdy
a wide-open window
the world calmly waiting
and a little bird on
the windowsill.
fly, be free, faithful birdy
what keeps you lingering here?
fight your fears and leave!
please
can we still fly
with tissue-paper wings?
i watch the air slip through me like
water through a loosely-woven net
and maybe i'll just let the current take me
