Seeing Clearly | Simone Kulinski | Painting

The Caged Bird by Elliott Wagner-Smith

the caged bird 

is louder than the 

f r e e

she calls out to me

please, tell me what you see

i cannot leave

the caged bird

is just as good

as

dead

she has lost all

but her head

the caged bird longs

to    s p  r   e     a     d 

her  

              s

            g

          n

         i

      w

that is why

the caged bird sings
