sheltered in a bower arrogance won’t do
when is it safe to send you
from the nest swirling around
fledgling in the wind unwound and wild
where you will find the solid ground
uncovering a sense of self undefended
will you find humility there and then
learning at last to bend with the storm
soften your rigid form on the current
freely make and accept mistakes
and sensing the cold at last wing south
or stubbornly impliable implacable
under the weight of your hubris break
into fate the yawning cat’s mouth
