Work

The feather's markings
are a small part
of a bird's markings,
but when flicked through
each vane springs back
into position
holding a sharp edge
where black meets white.
Even though it cannot fly
when dropped
it's carried away
by a gust of wind.

When work is done
who would need to be more,
when so many live life
keeping sheets of metal
in the sky.
