Tonight I will sit on the branch of a tree
And sing with the birds.
By morning I will have learned to fly.
No longer will my eyes mirror the pain
Of stone-faced men who, planted on the earth,
Are driven on by their need for weightless understanding.
My shadow brushing across the clouds, I will take you with me--
You, and you alone, will be the burden I carry.
