i see your feathers

garage eagle love

i see your feathers do not
move the same way,
not as fast as they did
yesterday.
you move more slowly,
sometimes you do not
coo.
and yes i wonder what
is going to happen
to you.
i remember when you
took your first flight.
it took you a while
to get it right.
now you fly less.
just for food, not
for fun.
then you rest,
because earlier
your day is done.
my feathers are
changing,
as yours do.
but what does not change
is that i love you.
