in the glare of space and light
she feels a terrifying fright
but soon her cramped wing
brushing aside the fencing
***** the wind into it
her little breast heartbeat
pumps all blood into vein
so they never hear her tweet again.
she flies not far
when the blaze swoops on her
and night's chill turns her into dust!
