CAGED.

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Caged.

 

Caged bird is restless 
Plucks at feathers

Bleeding red breast.


Pain opens old scars,
Cruel those bars,

Blocking the stars.

 

Captives remember
Sky without end

And air's clear scent.


Unfeeling humans
Keep you unhappy

In metal bands.

 

I know why you sing,
Caged and clinging,

To unseen things.


You yearn to be free.
Look caged bird, see

I have the key.


Wing then to liberty.

    My Dear Poetess Fay,

    My first read of this exceptional poem reminded me of Maya Angelouā€™s ā€œI Know Why The Caged Bird Singsā€- - -metaphorically comparable!
