Interrupted Flight
INTERRUPTED FLIGHT
I remember
The pigeon man
Could take a bird
Recently hurt
From a window or wire,
And holding her in giant hands
Could smooth her feathers
And stretch her wings,
Tucking in her down
And ziplocking her ruffled plumes,
While she snipped at his fingers,
Her trembling heart racing,
Until he returned her to flight,
And her eyes shone as she soared,
Repaired.
