View From The Tower           
                       
                       
                                          
 When I Got Home From  Away, Climbed All 
 The  Way To  The  Top, And There  Was  A 
 Bird In My  Room, Not Too Unreasonable A 
 Bird But Still  An  Unwelcome  Guest  At 
 This Hour,  That  Had  Let  Himself  In. 
                                          
 The  Window Was  Open And So  I Waved My 
 Arms And He Flew  Out. But As  Soon As I 
       Turned Around, HE Was Back.       
                                          
                                     
 I  Took   The   Jackdaw   By   My   Hand 
 Threw   It    Out    The   Window,   And 
       Into What I'M Shielded From        
    Watched Him Fall And Turned Around    
    Held His Gaze Throughout The Fall     
     In Spite He Did Not Move At All      
                                     
                                          
 I Heard The Thump As He Hit The  Ground. 
 My  Mother  Came  Running.  "Angel! What 
 Did You Do?"                             
                                          
 Don'T Come In  Here,  I  Wanted  To Say, 
 But She  Would Come Anyway And So I Kept 
 It  To   Myself.  "Are  You   Allright?" 
                                          
 "I Hurt  A Bird",  And I  Could  See Him 
 Through The Windows, Trying To  Fly With 
 His  Wings Somehow Inverted.  They Would 
 Not Bear Him,  And  He  Was  Infuriated.
