Inscription description
poem one: The fruit & flowers glow in the starlight we have escaped our gilded cage - most of us / A chance / to play and swoop! / in the distance / a grand site / below is / a spectre / claws and teeth / reflective eyes / so beautiful / our wings are stiff / and unused / but we can try / to soar / a structure / roars with / orange light.; poem two: The Cat in the Aviary / I am a stalker of mice and birds / a merry prankster a deadly hunter / needle sharp teeth and crescent moon claws / a queen / a disrupter / a wraith / I prowl around this pretty cage / what's this? / a door ajar? / Inside the most colourful prey / pandemonium / I remain silent, I must carry out my duties.
