The Bird

Posted on February 15, 2021February 15, 2021 by Karan Khanna

The bird looks at the cage

The good old one she fled long ago

Now, yearning to be enslaved again

Rather this time with little shackles rather

 

She remembers the days when she was protected and provided for

But she, young and high

Envied the liberated ones who flew by

 

The youth, the heat, and the envy made a perfect combination for rebellion

The cage was strong, but…

Then came the artist

For whom pursuing meant practicing his art

 

As expected, the bird broke the cage

And left never to return

In heat, in love, in lust

Little did she know

That an artist needs a muse, not a companion

 

So much she wishes now her former owner allows her back to the cage

But the cage she broke has been repaired

And she can sight her replacement in it

Also, no one else wants to own a runaway bird

 

So she is left alone in the cold and dark

To be consumed by predators

Yet I hope she is happy

For she has all that she ever wanted

Her freedom
