To Be a Bird a poem by Dante Dapolonia Ⓒ 2015 When I come back it will be as a bird To swim through the air and see the World from high places. This large brain is overrated as I think And mammalian warmth consoling Only at the breast. Feathers then and dinosaur heat battering Wings against the wind rising in To the stark cloud bearing sky. Squawk I may or sing a choice of intent A patterned dance and guileful plumage setting forth The wistful flutters of passion. And fly, for food, for sight high the wind Cold against my breast not consoling And far above the heavy land. A bird. This fat brain forgotten.

To Be a Bird
a poem by Dante Dapolonia 2015
When I come back it will be as a birdTo swim through the air and see the World from high places.
This large brain is overrated as I thinkAnd mammalian warmth consolingOnly at the breast.
Feathers then and dinosaur heat batteringWings against the wind rising inTo the stark cloud bearing sky.
Squawk I may or sing a choice of intentA patterned dance and guileful plumage setting forthThe wistful flutters of passion.
And fly, for food, for sight high the windCold against my breast not consolingAnd far above the heavy land.
A bird.This fat brain forgotten.
