Sungbird
The caged birds.
Tweet in the wind.
A bird will try with all their might to be heard.
They fly against the wind.
They spread their wings.
They get hit with a branch.
It will get damaged.
They seek help.
It is replaced by a steel whir.
It’s brittle
They fly against the wind.
They shatter...
They seek a manual.
It is cared.
Instructor
They preyed.
They’re hopeless.
‘****!’
What?!
‘****!’
Deasptihr.
They choose to never flap again.
They grab caution from the wind.
Etch that screeching memory.
The Blackwall
A Songbird.
A screeching quill.
A pleading dissonance.
A conjuring chassis.
A burning embrace by work-grade steel.
A imploded engine.
A Caged Reflective Light.
A Churned Hand.
