When a sparrow flew away from 

 

 

Going down Apt. stairs

 

saw a dozing sparrow by the window

 

held down a sparrow

 

a sparrow escaped to upstairs rooftop

 

but hit beak to an locked iron door and

 

be shut in the corner

 

pressed a sparrow with flat bag softly

 

left hand grabbed and caught

 

with proud emotion

 

to bus station

 

walked in deep thoughts

 

 

 

Fly a night

 

when the morning comes

 

will ask mother then forcibly

 

will tie a sparrow ankle with thread sturdy

 

from yard to rice paddies and a empty field

 

a grandson will scamper

 

 

 

While i feel so good

 

my right fingers relaxed

 

flapping

 

opened wings powerful

 

circled around top of an electric pole

 

a sparrow grew

 

farther and farther

 

away

 

 

 

Ah!

 

a dream of mine.
