When You Nest

A feathery creche 

drew you to return 

and rest.

Glove of home

the place for

an imagined child.

Watch the sun wash over

Chinese Pistache, eucalyptus,

yellow trumpet flowers.

Miniature Mexican parrots

pair to form 

a quilled melodic breath.

Listen for plane moan,

sweet silver of young song

to grasp and release.
