Refers to The Albatross by Baudelaire, Free Verse, an older work I'd love feedback on
Baudelaire’s clumsy albatross
tormented by gravity and seafarers
mocked and beaten
almost broken
by prodding stick
and pantomiming buffoon.

The bird lumbers about
until the sailors lose interest
and allow his return
to the mid-day sky
to the perspective
they will never know.
