I’m confused

Which one is you:

The wide-eyed bird

Perched on wire

Like a soldier

Guarding his territory?

The bird taking off

In terror

Turning his back on

Possibility and commitment?

Which one is me:

The petrified bird

Clinging to certainty

The steady and solid

The unchanged?

The bird in flight

Venturing away

Gleefully

Seeking the uncharted

The infinite?
