this caged bird



This caged bird of Manase once
flew untouched, wild and free
here and liberally smiled to prance
a wide-ranging grin of its colors.
The grin stretched from ear to ear in
the green gorgeous avenues of Manase.
Risky, risky roads to be taken now
for all is seized by strong and long
beaked birds that caused dimples
as they mounted raids in the offices,
homes, churches, mosques, temples,
shrines, shops, and many other places
ripping apart rapidly. Ruthlessly.
But also tactically softly and slowly.
Rough replica of the tomblike roads
of sky-red fields, overran, forgotten.
