FLIGHT
A FLIGHT of sparrows, crowd-directed, drifts Across the unrestricting sky, creating routes Sharply defined as any in a maze. Who falls is lost, but who is it dictates? What impulse moves what gyroscopic core To keep intact what seems so atomised? One, flying blind or lame, falls out: With heightened pulse, unable to keep up, Deviant trom type: then freer, or less free? Hurt-is the price, but hart too is a prize: Lost from the rest, discovering a self Small as a bird, but in a bigger sky.
