From its dark cage
one bird goes forth.
Eater, eaten
share the same sky.
Night over all,
the earth forgets.
From its dark cage
one bird goes forth.
Hide in a tree!
Creep under leaves!
Construct a nest!
Do anything
except that climb
to high cloud-top!
Does it listen?
No. Up it flies!
Eagle takes all.
One feather falls.
Night over all,
the earth forgets.
