I love birds!

[vriad_lee]

Radha, my love
Indian turtle-dove
caught in the jungle
and taken
into the civilization's account
squats on the pavement
of a full city street

they say
she lives on vegetables
and pecks
white flour bread
not to get fat
but she's plump as it is
and she's black

if i had caught her in jungle
or taken, with naked hand
from her cage
it wouldn't matter a nail:
get her or not
she's impossibly free anyway
this impossible indian bird!
