empty nest
empty nest
still
the bird sings
today slips
into the room ? hungry
on tiny paws
he thinks again of turning leaves her hands
news of your death
when I open my eyes
green leaves

there is nothing to do but keep still howling wind
nearly spring --
a shadow of the words
you left behind
without a way to find you mourning dove
