They tell me that I'm crazy,
though not in so many words,
I but get that anyway
through signals from dead birds.

The birds point to where I'm going
and don't mention where I've been,
it's not nearly as disturbing,
as living in this pen.

Pigeons look so peaceful,
as they fold their wings to pray.
If I could get this window opened
I'd quickly dart away.

I know I don't have feathers,
guess that would be absurd,
but I feel my wings are folding,
and I hope I am a bird.

Like your poem, best.
