Devoted

 

In the cold spring air,

on the cool April ground,

green blades of  young grasses

spear through the dead mat of tans.



Here in a small depression,

a hidden patch of earth

is warmed by the breast

of a nesting Woodcock.



Four elegant eggs

splotched with earthy colors.

Vulnerable to the elements.

Dependent on her devoted presence.
