I am your bird of prey
Caught between 2 posts
And a glistening fence.
Neck broken,
beak to the ground,
Half way trapped inside
your field of green.
I am your bird of prey,
Wings on a wire,
Still soft and light,
with feathers gleaming
where promise of flight,
newly broken, fell to earth.
'Twas passion that lured me to your
nest, where the cloud kissed Sun
with time
turned ashen my listless frame.
A testament to nature's seduction,
there was no escaping
your embrace
As the warmth
slowly left
my still
beating
heart.
Inspired by a beautiful Robin I found yesterday, stuck in a fence I had put up around a field of garlic.. it must have fluttered to death, trying to escape.
