Their hands like beaks sift low
lying branches, nimble, limber as reeds.
Raising twigs, they imagine parts
made up of their own, impatient
organs attempting to procreate
any conception
lost in cracked shells
filled with yolk, enough for a meal,
not a lifetime. They hunger through
seasons, their nest emptied of songs
they intended to sing, almost quiet,
nearly gone, they roost anyway
mating for life, contemplating those
embryos, formless drops from the storm.
As the wind whips at the back of their
hollowed out bones, they long for an
unborn promise, made from their love,
washed away in the earth, instead eaten
by worms.
