Tiny Tiny Cage

A big fat 
Featherless
Bird in a tiny
Tiny cage,
My heart beats against
Scarring bars
That bend and give
But do not break
(At least not for my mind's sake)
and I fear that even his key
will not be enough to free
my swollen
organ, fleshy and sore
through that tiny 
tiny bird cage door.
