one bird remains on the wire
below
the cats confer
repeating the chant
pulling wreckage from the rut
link by link
pieces salvaged
will become parts of tomorrow
some last for eternity
unchanged, never falling
the soundest core
is often built from adversity
stay the course
the journey will buck
move with it
rewards may appear later than expected
all birds yearn to be free
in their own way
cats will not starve
you can hear it in the wire
