Hoping to pick their faults through your teeth
They do not beg
You do not speak beak
If your mother taught you better than this
She is now forcing rice fistfulls down her throat
If you beg her
She will swoon
Do you remember her perch from some morning?
You have forgotten how to take her to the sun...
Your fingers are feathered
Your wings are clipped
