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.
