The fragility of the nest
is
the security of the nest.
We hanker for a home.
Not
the solidity,
the false security
of the sarcophagus.
A home to leave and return to.
To remain a home
when the wind blows it away.
Not
the permanence of the coffin.
Unleft and unimagined.
No holes to breathe through.
This is exquisite, Brian. It feels like a gift. Thank you.
It arrived as a gift too. From the nourishment born from the suckling on thoughtful dialogue.
