Migratory Birds

We
the migratory birds
are here this season
thinking
we will fly back to our home
for sure!

No one knows
which invisible cage
imprisons us!
And the flight begins to die slowly
in our wings.
Some of us are drawn
with the chain
some lag behind
in the swamp.

No sun, no earth
where to look at
what to look for?
Lost souls.

How shall we reach the threshold
of our home with crumbling selves?

…The next season is never our own
and every season
makes mouths at us!
