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.
