Line by line translation • One wing on the sidewalkthe bird's body eaten or decayed;one wing, in sunlightfeathers dappled gray & brown;one wing curved for lift-offas if containing stillpower to rise beyond the body's endfind above, a lonely solace. • The Bird is eaten or decayed with one wing left. • Dead bird half in shadow, and half in sunlight. • Injured bird still trying to fly. • The bird had the power for his soul to rise and go to a lonely heaven.

  4. Repetition: Says “One wing” three times. • Simile: One wing curved for lift-off as if containing still. The wing cant stay in air cause he’s dead. Euphemism: Power to rise beyond the body's end. The bird died and went somewhere else.
