Home For the summer

Home for the Summer

Both under my roof for a while
a short time tick of a while
a bird chip chip trill of a while
pink pink, peewit peewit
scuffle and murmur

Just those few days
when I can exhale, let go
sag, release
wing it
all the magic Mothers send
autonomically to keep them safe
when out of sight
Howlers via owls
anti Gull devices
love via Larkrises
round Robins and crowing
furious food finches
all perfectly Passerine
now
peacefully perched

until they migrate again
