A Poem About Birds

I. THE OUTSIDER
Ever drifting on swirling wind currents
Between gaps of summer and windows of liveliness
Looking inward, I wait to prey on stray laughs
After consumption, I trade orbits
Shy as a shadow and detach

II. A DREAM ABOUT BIRDS
I saw you perched there up on top a stalwart branch
I meant to study but you made it clear I should not advance
So I retreated and my backwards steps fell down one's throat
I unlocked my ankle, but left them crushed
And I washed off the guts when I got home

III. A POEM ABOUT BIRDS
Pine clad and unwavering,
You feel the air
Cascade off your feathers
Your jigsaw silhouette
Mends a barren sky
As you seek your next endeavor
Bathed in serendipity
You unfurl wings
In this comfort you care not to leave
Save your autonomy
And grace those peaks
I will never see myself reach
