it trembles, a
crooked form caught
in a black sea,
its surface
stagnant now – the
still waters rumble
with the passing of cars and
unmoving eyes, casting deep
shadows over its
small
broken body

alone and
weary

it croaks, a feathery wing outstretched,
reaching
a mouth, wide open

unable to utter a single
cry
