   How do you interpret a poem like a bird?

   • Be like the bird, who Pausing in his flight On limb too slight Feels it give way beneath him Yet sings Knowing he has wings. You might interpret these lines, particularly in the context of the poem, as: “You may be dead soon, so why worry?” But in context, I take them as: “Have confidence in your own power.”
