Only the wind

2014 All these things she’s gathered, magpie-like:
shiny jewels and dreams
delicate feathers and feelings
shore-strewn shells and words
soft-polished stones and ideas
Line her nest
cocooning her from noise and
chaos
from fears. standing still.

Push them out of your nest, little bird
one by one
they’ll all fall, flutter, disappear
you have no need of nest or home
you have wings too long unused
shake off the dust, reach for higher skies
old words old stories feathers pebbles memories dreams cannot
save you.
