Birb (Free verse) by Aetius
I held a dying bird today. He started at me dazedly, wondering why he yet stayed within his tiny feathers, behind his narrow beak. He wondered who was I that dared to handle him. But, most of all, he wondered at the window.

Poignant. I think I've been that bird.

How do you know what he was wondering?
He wondered at the window--that's reasonable
I often wonder at the window
