- rookie -

wings trembled beneath the air

struggling to keep him up

gusts of wind blew throughout

narrowly missing his tiny body

a stream of air

was his last straw

the undoing of a little robin

the death of a bird

for as it hit him straight in the chest

he fell

slowly at first

his wings attempting to stop the fall

but gravity was stronger

pushing him along

right into the hands of death
