Flightless

Flightless


Flightless,
This bird watches from below,
Where's she going?

Passed up,
Left behind,
Since her hatching,
She adores the sunset,
That she cannot caress…

…As all others can.

Frail and expendable,
She finally fades,
With a, forever, unsatisfied longing in her eyes,
That was never noticed.
