Stop dropping off fledglings
like I can just ignore
something that is not yet grown
and expected to start functioning
alone!
Last year,
you cocky redbreasts thought
that three could bob happily
in the construction site
and thankfully I found no bodies
or feather puffs
This year,
that cheeky blackbird
who happily stalks the lawn
(though moss pile is more accurate)
has dropped bright and happy chicks
in the pell-mell mix of my
****** horticulture
And don’t get me started on the pigeons!
The cats round here,
like everywhere
are at best loveable rogues
with claws on fingers
and toes that like to ****
for spits and giggles
In these times
I turn to nature to save me
but you crank my anxiety
like the ***** grinder’s
forbidden monkey
Gimme a break, please?
