Palms cupped together
Fingers interlaced
While he shivered
Heart beating faster
Almost throbbing
As instinct fought to free him
From the cage
--No matter how gentle--
He found himself in.
I opened my hands
And he took to the sky
A jagged bullet
Outline clear against
The ethereal blue
As nature prevailed
Over tentative nurture
And his wings beat faster
Than his heart.
