black birds songs long when midnight meets two zeros
freedom’s hard to feel in cages, unsung heros
from the distance, a free bird listens
left to lose,
tied, denied dreams
black bird cursèd
broken wings
tied
and broken feet
with a broken voice sings
sings of freedom
new dawn
new song
canticum novum
flight might come soon
freedom’s hard to feel in cages, unsung heros

i wrote this on a beach in san francisco, impulsive urge to go, caught a ride with a stranger. was a mess, crying, reading 'i know why the caged bird sings' by maya angelou.
