Bottled
Fear and loneliness within a vessel,
Deep ruby red,
Paced upon the window ledge
Sun rays passing through dark green glass
Take the stopper out,
A shout comes out.
Sun's shine begins to gleam,
Out pours one long scream.
The water breaks; A bird's wing, Shafts and quills intact along the shards of ice. Too heavy to lift, I tip the basin up and water drain...
