Heavy air

This night seems to never end

All but me remember when the sun
made me feel like a little singing bird
singing as if only to honor this sun
that was only gone when it was sleeping
in the safest tree dreaming of singing
louder so everyone could hear its joy

I walk restless in the dark eventhough
I can fly because the air is so heavy
that I fall and crash every time hurting my tired legs

maybe I should bite off my wings
so I can never again be mocked
like a chicken trying to reach the safest tree

and the last dawn has been forgotten
