i will
if i were a bird
i will perch atop
the bleakest mountains
to watch over you.
take you on the zephyr
soar above the canyons.
if i were a bird,
i will go up against
the blistering storm
whirling into you,
scoop you off
from the tremors
beneath your feet.
if i were a bird,
you can look
through my eyes
at this world
made prettier,
for you.
