Winged

Winged



He tried to fly
flapped his wings

High above him
a dark duvet
drizzled sadness

Only yesterday,
or was it last week
his wings and feet
carried him

little raven
didn't remember

Carry me
carry me
he squeaked
to his sorrowful parents

We have to go
they said
hipping hither
and thither

He hid his head
under his useless wings
and waited
and wailed
