The shriek Poem by Yaak Karsunke
The shriek
unable to take off
from the ground
swifts let themselves fall
from a certain height
& begin to fly while plummeting
a young bird
had flown against the windowpane
& lay dazed
with outstretched wings
on the balcony
i folded its wings together
& picked it up
held it in my hands
felt its heart hammering then
threw it into the air
it shrieked
as it went shooting away
