...i'm useless, i'm worthless, i'm nothing...


Flitting, darting, weaving,
a single robin desperately attempts
to evade her attackers...


...i'm crying again. i'm such a wimp.
i'm pathetic...



Through the trees,
the leaves feel her passing,
then diving, rising,
back forth...
Blue feathered crows pursue relentlessly...


...just kept going on and on,
didn't even care,
just kept screaming...



Her brown-tipped wings whip the air...
She'll not escape, she can feel it.
Their jagged cries tear at her brain, and still
Her brown-tipped wings whip the air...


... would you feel loved?...


A slant miscalculation,
shining eyes darting nervously,
velvet wing clipped
tree branch,
she's on the ground now,
the crows are swooping in...


...why do they do this to me?...


Struggling to regain composure, flight,
Too late, she cries
in pain, a beak, a claw,
warm blood, broken
feathers...
Eyes pool over, blink...


...i dont understand...


She beats her wings
at nothing, futility,
they are gone, they are there...
they are gone...


...can anyone understand?...


She tumbles to the pavement...
Through distorting tears,
they're coming again!
Then a rush of sound, wind, tires,
can't breathe.
A car, a truck, something,
she doesnt know,
stops overhead...


...can someone answer me?...


Trembling, pain, fear,
broken wing, broken soul,
a door, then STOP!
...tattered boots by her head,
a hand...
Trembling, pain, fear,
broken wing, broken soul,
...this gentle touch...


...i can hear them laughing...


His hands cradle her close to his body...
safe, now, tears, yes, fear, no,
warmth...
Resting easy, Rest,
sleep ensues...


...i'm sorry...
