“Birds of a feather,” by Sophie Cassarino ‘24
Birds of a feather
Fall together
And splatter in a bloody heap together
In any weather
Ask one whether
He or she would die for their feather
Whether yes whether no a feather is still a fetter
Drawing the boundaries of being together
No one really knows the power of “feather”
Until someone dares insult their feather
And then two feathers fight together
And fall together
And splatter in a bloody heap together
But in the end we’re all covered in feathers
Feathers and fetters that draw the letters in our many many names
