Written for these eggs, this Robin, this nest...
I see four eggs.
I dream, along with
Momma, of soon
four hatchlings,
four chicks,
four birds,
four first flights...
A well-built nest -
Soft.
Round.
Sturdy but cushioned.
Threaded, woven,
balanced, and
careworn.
At the level of my heart.
Four chicks
will grow to know
the world,
utterly surrounded
by the heaven scent
of Wisteriaroma.
A loving mom.
Patient.
Attentive.
Defender of
a homemade home.
Present.
Dare-I-say
loving?
This first nest
appearing here
this Spring.
I watch momma
every day.
She watches me.
She watches her dreams
there under her
warming breast.
I know it's their
first time here.
And yet, and yet
to me somehow
it's all a memory.
Of what might've been.
Of what wasn't.
I cry for her,
happily.
I cry for me,
less so.
