she is a beautiful bird
and he a majestic lion
she pecks at little things
and he swipes his way
each to their own
joint reality happening
together they exist
wary of the other
his world enhanced
whilst she feels abused
she tweets in his ear
and he roars his demands
she counts the sad days
and he basks in the sun
when she tires of him
she takes flight
his utter dismay
reflects his oblivion
