love letters for the end of the world: ix
how sweet the sky,
how vast, how close.
how mad to try.
how cruel to hope.
and flightless, although
strong of wing,
some nights
the cagèd bird
still sings.

Author's Note
there in the choicelessness of grief, is joy. in the dread of futility, resistance must exist. even if its only outcome is pain.

It's good that the bird still sings, though sometimes it's a sad song... the tragedy would be if the bird stopped singing altogether!
