The Inverted Sad Circle of One-Winged Flight

the dreams of a one-winged songbird incapable of flight
have got to be about singing while soaring in something other than
inverted sad circles of predestined lopsidedness

what if just once and not twice
the one-winged songbird who was incapable of flight
were given the chance to die after achieving something other than
predestined sad circles of lopsidedness

surely it would choose death via flight
at the sometimes moving blade of a clean-power generating windmill
to that of being buried with plutonium-234
for somewhere in the neighborhood of
24,000 years or more

oh the inverted sad circle of one-winged flight
the outcome of which always seems so obvious
just shortly after the fact
