raze there is a bird
on the other side
of this wall.

i can hear
her singing
for her life.

had i a hammer,
i would pulverize
painted plaster and
set her song free.

i only have
these hands,
as tired and
time-worn as
the rest of me.

all i can do is
sing back something
i know_by_heart and
hope i'm understood.
