THESIS

inspired impulses divinely implanted
now activated to release the trembling
of a momentarily retained terror

a leaping off-branch of near-farcical fury
terrific wing-thrust arriving
against the curious weight
of unseen air

each and every beating blackbird heart
newly unbound
in the coordinated dimension
of a sudden spiraling jaunt

all that is needed to regroup
again free to be
wholly together

fright unfrozen
in a moment's newfound flight
