Portrait of a Flightless Bird

K. Blair

 

Let me tell you how I clawed for the quiet
steady purr of an honest love.

I made myself at home in cramped spaces,
napped in transient windows of evening sun.
But every night I dreamt I was a gale coasting clouds and molting feathers dispatched 
like lost letters: Return to Sender

Everyone leaves, but I stayed
long after the birds stopped singing.
