One little birdy
lifts scarlet to spring’s roses and its final tired flowers,
stretching across the silent solemn night gently
with both hands reaching forward,
grappling upwards.

One little birdy,
arms stretched wide
gathering deep blue seas falling out the sky.

One little birdy,
arms stretched far out too wide
drowns in hopes of the ocean greeting a goodbye.

One little birdy stuck in a cage

One little birdy
with widespread wings

sitting alone.
Dreaming of wind.
