****** Bird?
You have ruffled my feathers.
Cluck
Off
To the hen house.
I have worms to find.
A tasty treat in my beak
Or digging up beetles with my claws
None of which will ever be yours.

****** Bird?
If I could fly I would leave
You
Now
In this coop.
But we are locked in.
I'm left digging the dirt
Or sleeping on straw
Shell-less and cracked and raw.

15
one time and times three makes you
fifteen a daughter
please smile you don't know I do
Joy Ceye Mar 2017
Called  you so many times I
Black and Blue you laugh
999 I'm in the bath.

I am not afraid.
I never told you.
You left in darkness and silence.
Went.
Still I will not speak.
No light,
Just the glow from the street lamps
Above
Below
Illuminating  a tranquil sky.
Stay! I cannot say.
The maze is coming.
I
Run
Call.
He has taken me.
I am not afraid.
Can you hear me?
