Cage Bird
At the tip of light
A cage bird's wings
Holds the chain that
Keeps the cage bird from
Being free
Its hopeless head
Holds five glints of light
And five glints of pain
When it struggles to be free
It reaches the edge of the encircled wall
But it loses hope in the shadows
And it comes back to the five
Glints of light
And the five glints of pain
But when the light is turned off
And the darkness fills the air
The cage bird, which is an owl
Flies away.
