The robin’s eggs hatched —

four naked nestlings emerged —

mother seems shell-shocked.

The sounds of morning–
a cheery-up cheery-oh
outside at 5ish.

The brain is not a
computer but a bundle

Robin leaves the nest

for just a minute or two

to get nourishment.

Robin huddles down
fluffing and fussing feathers
to keep the nest warm.

X Ambassadors
played in Ithaca last night.
They are hometown boys.

I move the curtain–
there’s a robin on the ledge!
On a nest! With eggs!

Today’s Mother’s Day–
I’m in the green chair hearing
the clock go tick tock.
