Many Birds (The Abandoned Nest) Poem by guillermo veloso

Many Birds (The Abandoned Nest)



I came upon a fallen nest
Left to dry and alone on the ground
A passing rain had but for a moment given it
Brief life
And I wondered
What scarlet cardinal, azure jay or resolute robin
Had returned to find this empty home
Once downy warm with egg, twig, and spittle.
Once a home once a love once a life
Many birds mate for life
Some do not
