bird burns.
bird drinks in light.
sparrow strangled by clouds of ash and dark.
bird flies.
sparrow flees from danger.
bird flees from mother.
bird cut by stinging hurt of mother.
sparrow woken up by scathing aftertaste.
sparrow swallows sweet tasting thing.
sparrow loves mother.
sparrow loves sweet tasting things.
bird born into broken world above ocean mist.
