Song-Bird
a cage made of silver coloured wires
a metal weave and knots
that together have made a bell
the shape so like has no hammer
but a tiny door closed with
a piece of blackthorn
inside a slim branch hangs
from two thin silver
chains. it swings. slow
and without sound as
the bird was imagined
and so was the song.
