    Sparrows indifferent

    An image cast in escape in refuge

    The bird flies

    Too high

    And accustomed to many

    Trips, flies, and delays

    Where does the sparrow rest

    Homeless yet driven to fly again

    Hop to a new branch

    Divide and conquer responsibility’s handsaway.

    Take care of all of it

    And somehow prevail

    Over overlords and the chains of domesticity.

    There once came this girl and she was shy,noverypretty, and otherwise intolerant. Would not speak on command. But jovial. Slayer of sheather underneath.

    And wrecking balls made less destruction than the little girl gone grown now.

    Who looked at the sparrow from  leads and reeds and thought paper made the difference.
