soundless



that bird's wings have been clipped
no longer can it fly away off into the horizon
instead it sits perched on a tree branch
singing a song
so sweet, so long
so broken, so...
hushed
...so lost
is the bird
singing a song no other bird can hear
as it cries out one last tune
prays for a witness
the bird forgets
that its wings are clipped
jumps out of that tree
the bird is free
