A dove in a cage
Suspended in a cage
Soaked in the
Despairing chimes
Of the time-teller
The years have kept her
Disheveled and starved
Entrapment wears the heaviest
Unable to stir her wings
Hopelessness fatigues her
Boring holes in her beating heart
Powerless and weightless
She's naked in the hole
White feathers long gone.
