lion roof ornament
by Kathleen Wilsonrooftop lion
you used to be
wild
now trapped
in a glass case cage
your limited
perspective
lack of sky
open-mouthed
look in your eye
I'm moved
by your situation
just before closing
I come by
press my face close
listen to the roar
see breath on glass
is it yours
or mine?
