all i can see is a black and white tv show, perhaps Lassie, where the boy has found a bird and wants to keep it. the bird is hurt a bit, and he tries to comfort it, but really has no idea what he's doing. because he's a boy and because he wants someone who he can have as his own, he tries to keep the bird, make it love him back, hope that he's enough for the bird. but eventually, the boy realizes, maybe from a look his dad gives him, maybe from the bird already trying to walk away into the world, hopping and fluttering, maybe something free in his own soul, that he has to let the bird go. and so he picks up his bird, takes it to the highest place he knows, a hill a few miles away, and lets it fly off his hand, wondering what will fill the hole inside.
i was that bird a few years ago. now i'm the boy. maybe soon i'll grow into a man.
