Poems
Dec 2011
Trapped Feathers
she ***** her black eye
peering through the gate
"i see you," she tweets,
greets with a sideways blink
one, two, three hop
up, down, then to me
companions peck and feast,
pitter-patter on the wire
holding up her wooden seat
where gossiping talons reside
my brown eyes connect
to the beady left of her skull
imagining the lush landscapes
her ancestors once flew through
who felt the wind and warmth
and knew of seasonal change
intruding hands take her away
for a new gate to look through
