While Here

Even as a nest was being
formed, I settled in,
sensing a mere whistle of wind
could change the place I rested.
I had wanted just a moment
in the world. I was alive,
and then the moment passed.
A quiet thing, a life.
Some moments
one could whisper back.
To quiet from the nest,
reaching, receiving
and allowing lines,
if they were lines,
to blur.

coast is full of holes
and land as though
impeccable kindness
had been lifted and
left us alone
with difference
where we had been seamed
