This morning I was witness to the robin
whom I know so well (through summers and winters for countless passings) hold in beak with gentleness and care profound the final moult before the wing a damselfly (this creature I have been as much a human may feel to be) and for both I felt a care towards their sharing Gentle robin whipping tail of adolescence insect form living is here another’s dying (my conclusion in this common mystery) How one may the other become and in so doing undo a path which never was kindness even in seeming atrocity seemingly is this nature’s mystery |
