eggshells
there is no nest made too soft
when you consider how brittle the egg
an entire world swimming below the bloom
threadbare as a summer sheet
the reason mother birds are such careful carpenters
why we parallel pregnancy and nesting
is just this: the world is overfilled with sharp edges
and bereft of soft landings
