On the sidewalk
I saw this nest this morning
at the far end of the park
where the wild enters the tidy
in the crevices and shades
a messy knot shaken in overnight rain
twigs, feathers, chocolate wrapper, and all,
stuck in strands of spider web
shaped like a tremendous gust
skillfully latched to sinewy end of hanging vine
entwine a saucer shaped comfort
recent warmth, the care, anxiety
and joy of colours flit the sky
in delight amalgamating deepest hue
