01. flightless
1.
flawed. crippled. deformed.
bent at crooked angles, sentenced to a life of
whatifihadbeenbornnormal
wistful. from behind the barricade of twigs is
undying hope,
unrealistic dreams;
yearning to soar beyond physical limitations and then:
splat.
wings twice snapped.
2.
remembrance
the dullest ache ruffling feathers
glimmers of blue sky reflected in
eyes that might as well belong to a corpse.
when you’ve had your taste of freedom, i don’t suppose you’d fancy
even a golden gilded cage.
3.
cement is a nice bed.
said the broken bird with its
half-smiling beak
shattered bones rattling a hollow tune that recalls
joyous joyous flight.
never again.
