Bird in a Gale
Are you blowing like a bird in a gale?Does the pain of your loss seep into your feathers like rain?Do the bars of your cage feel low or cold to the touch?Were my caresses too gentle?Did I love you too much?
The dog is scratching at the doorThe boy is drowning in the seaCan I crash out on your floor?
The loon is howling at the seaCan I crash out on your floor?Is there room in the story for me?
