Blue Bird StandingA Poem by MadhusudhaWrote this in response to a prompt - an image of a bird that had lost its beak, feet removed and wings tied up.
I got ready to speak
And, you took away my voice. Never mind, I consoled myself. Flexing my thighs, I took a stance. Then, you cut off my feet. Not giving up, I flexed my wings, Well, I can still soar high. Again you came, unrelentingly Clipped my wings. I sit here mute, lame, still Yet, alive, pondering how and When I can break free. © 2020 Madhusudha |
