present

present

it goes to show how i stay true
though even now noone can tell
i found a present just for you

fixing her as good as new
i freed her from her hardened shell
it goes to show how i stay true

i fed her breath, she slowly grew
she bore her blows, and bore them well
this bird’s a present just for you

bursting out into the blue
she broke the borders of her cell
it goes to show how i stay true

flying like she never flew
each stroke a striking of a bell
my bird is flying home to you



it’s something we already knew
caught within this villanelle
making words at last ring true
our bird has died. a gift for you
