Freedom

 

Dizzily happy, the two escaped canary bird,

sitting lackadaisical on an olive twig, bright

as lemons, picking insects from its branches.

enjoying the inner glow independence gives,

when a hawk swooped grabbed one of them.

 

The other one flew back to find the safety 

of its cage, but the window was closed, if

sat on the ledge thrilling the sweetest tones

and gladdened the heart of neighbours and

killer cats alike, till the hawk returned
