Bird in My Room

Bird in my room, how came you within?

Falcon in sky, mirage of a shelter,

Or ominous sign to accuse and accurse

Me lost in a windowless room of the world.

Quick, find the way out the way in you came.

Take your wild beating of wings from my heart,

Convulsive connotations out of my brain,

Of a far-seeking bird that I too once was.
