The Literary Speaker? Attitude?:
The literary speaker might be an international author who picked up bad habits such as smoking, drinking and getting with whores. Supposing he is a male, he is clever, depressed, tough and does not like to show his feelings.
Dominant Images:
A bluebird is a dominant image because it signifies sensitivity, hope and joy. Another image is the sense of addiction. I pictured a dark room eluminated by the early sunlight with a blue bird on a single branch on the tree outside the window.
