Bird Song

There is a small wind-up bird
that perches inside my chest

She totters between my ribs,
back and forth and back again

And when she's wound she trills a
soft sing-song in my ear, and

I move to the rhythm of
her serenade, a strange sweet
 
duet of winged spirits and
fine feathers all aflutter
