bird
sweet soprano,
singing solo
in an operatic dawn
bird
free-wheeling,
flow-flyer
on filigree feathers
bird
car-crashing,
window-bashing
feather dust on glass
bird
air-head,
worm-fed
hollow-boned creature

I learned only last night about the hollow bones..!
I'm reading this just after a goldfinch flew into my dining room window with a mighty bang leaving a feather duster imprint. Its taken a while to recover but has just fluttered off, sore-headed and bruise-boned.
