Skylarking
A gift of a bird is not
Taken lightly, nor can it be
Taken back: it is almost
Theft; yet this ruffled lark
Is mine now, I have stolen
Its grace and its name
For my own. I will take its
Wing to fly with, and leave
You in solitary, where you
Would like to stay, as I
Instead reach a greater height
Than I should have without it.
