Shatter

you broke the human brace
that angel’s spines are free of;
you released me, spent me,
and I dropped, selfish,
to my human cave;

you have no Idea how you
cracked those knots,
bent the steel of my cage
and liberated 10 000 birds;

i took this, returned nothing,
and thanked you only silently.
i could not give voice to this liberation,
words would be simple, stumble
to your elegant earth language

you, reverting me, sustained a forward growth
by shattering the gargoyle, revealing the sculptor
