KILLDEER NEST

Posted on June 7, 2020 by | 4 Comments

 

 

Brand new day
in some places waiting
for the last egg to crack

from the inside out.
Metaphor for everything
that matters, exploding

to the four winds,
blindly finding legs
hard to corral

with shrill words
they’ve never heard
‘til now.

We waited ages,
marked it with a rock
in the gravel drive.

    Hard to compare to yesterday’s post, but this one nails it as well.
