The Bird
The sky flies the bird close inIt flies him far away
It erases the poppy-seed speck of him
That is all the sky can do for him
All we can do for him is to say
"Birds fly"
Dear Bird,
Won\'t you remove both wings for me?
Because I believe
It\'s not simply having wings
That lets you glide through the sky
That lets you look so imperial
