Would it just be too much for his Red Bird mind to process? In the 14 months, 27 days and 16 hours we were together, my lover and I never talked about Red Bird, the injustice of keeping a flying creature in a cage. Frankly, I didn't want to do anything to interrupt the morning and evening flow of our own sex sounds, and I enjoyed the way her light reflected on me. I realized later she was my adornment, my rare furniture

David, this is so cool. I loved the presence of that red bird throughout your own emotional journey. Really beautiful and very personal. And I just really appreciated your capacity to capture your own heart as well as the red bird's heart. We are also so similar more than we think, even when it comes to comparing ourselves to birds. Just beautiful. Thank you

You. Hello. Thanks. I'm humbled by your comment, and I really appreciate that. That's one of the things that I'm called to do on this platform, I believe, is to take some of the poetry and other things that I've written essays and shorts and push them out there in my own voice and see what happens. And I am grateful, so grateful for your comments and appreciate that it touched you and was a benefit. Thank you very much

You love the story, brother. It was really a nice story. I really made me think about a lot of things. I loved your inflections and the way you read it and the passion you put into it. It was great. Thanks for sharing

It. Hi. That was really a great listen. Thanks for reading that. I really liked your reading voice a lot. I liked the tone and the way it was delivered, like the whole story. And especially like the idea of not wanting to interrupt the morning. That was a nice description of something that comes across my mind a lot, not wanting to interrupt certain moments. Thanks a lot for sharing. That really enjoyable. Bye
