22.4.14

do I cage you.

do I cage you bird by asking you to stay?
you said no. but maybe yes.
and then you said yes.
yes, again.
do I cage you bird by merely desiring you to stay?

do I cage you bird by having a different cadence, rhythm than you?
my sleeping hours and waking hours
your sleeping hours and waking hours
they differ.
does that cage you, bird?

do you love me bird, even with my cage?

I don't want to cage you, bird
but tell me.
so I don't.
what is freedom for you, bird?
so I know.

your magnificent wings must not be caged.
especially not by me.
