“ Unguarded Nests “

Unguarded nests
lustrous rough
herons egrets
storm petrels
great blue herons
remote inaccessible
night herons
necks outstretched
brown down
from a female’s breast
honking overhead
perennial beds
humid sweltering
extreme weather
suffering stresses
long-lasting seed heads
seasonal neglect
hairstreaks and elfins
desert green sooty silvery
dotted bogs blue copper
bright orange black spots
duller olive birds dropping
brown markings flying high
over the arctic circle
breeding barred cavities...
