JOHANNA Green finch and linnet bird, Nightingale, blackbird, How is it you sing? How can you Sitting in cages, taking wing? Outside the sky waits, Beckoning, beckoning, Just beyond the bars. How can you remain, Staring the rain, Maddened by the stars? is it you sing Anything? is it you sing?
My cage has many rooms, Damask and dark. Nothing there sings, even my lark. Larks never you know, When they're captive. Teach me to be adaptive. Green finch and linnet bird, Nightingale, blackbird, Teach me how to sing. If I cannot Let me sing.
