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.
