challenged promise

on my second lazy morning when i heard noise again

i knew i woke up too late

there was this pair of bird planning nest in my basin

today only he came back or is it she?

skilled mason, lets assume it is he

its not the first time though

they came yesterday too

i threw off all the twigs and threads

letting them know its my place, clear message

despite that i might add

he seems very persistent

must have promised his lover,a nest in this particular place

if its a challenge given to him

he'll fail this scheme.

alas! he'll never hatch an egg

despite of his toil, collecting shining reel, slender sticks and

nutmegs?
