Streetside


it trembles, a crooked form caught in a black sea, its surface stagnant now – the still waters rumble with the passing of cars and unmoving eyes, casting deep shadows over its small broken body
alone and weary
it croaks, a feathery wing outstretched, reaching a mouth, wide open
unable to utter a single cry
