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.
