Sootsong

By M.Published 8 months ago 1 min read

In the sootsong, we lost

a myriad of birds

but every wingspan

speaks of freedom:

canaries sing even when caged.

at crossing paths,

i'm tired of self-reporting

flaws and intersections.

Keep your captchas,

I don't want

to verify if I'm human
