Kay Ryan Quotes

Ledge

Birds That Love
high Trees
and Winds

and Riding
flailing Branches
hate Ledges
as Gripless
and Narrow,

so That A Tail
is Not Just
no Advantage
but Ridiculous,
mashed Vertical
against The Wall.
You Will Have
seen The Way
a Bird Who Falls
on Skimpy Places

lifts Into The Air
again In Seconds --
a Gift Denied
the Rest Of Us
when Our Portion
isn't Generous.
