a bird sinks down br through the wind, br unmindful of clouds br to cushion its fall br br past the snow- br capped mountains, br passing the time that br seemingly freezes br br ...and the tree that br was just a speck br from miles above, br is now a giant br to a bird that descends br from the heavens br br the gods might as well br have clipped its wings, br unfitting of tendered- br grace, utterly unyielding. br br unto the bottomless br dept of the earth br has no sounding of horns, br a winged-god deprived br of love has fallen.
