Nesting

     I feather my nest

     with odds and ends and whimsy;

     A layer of down to cushion

     the sharp, jagged edges

     of every day.

This is for Day 17 of PAD / NaPoWriMo and linked to IGRT.  

Nesting

    He sits

    knitting a house of sticks

    to stave off harpies

    who would

    pluck his bloody,

    still beating heart

    from the vest pocket

    where he keeps it,

    wrapped

    in a monogramed

    handkerchief.
