Guilt

The Cat shook the tree.
Everyday,
All the time.

The Sparrow protested.
He had his nest on the tree.
And eggs.

The Cat shook the tree.
Everyday,
All the time.

The Sparrow protested.
He tied the nest to the tree.
Firmly.

The Cat shook the tree.
Everyday,
All the time.

The Sparrow protested.
He collected cotton for his nest.
Cushion.

The Cat shook the tree.
Everyday,
All the time.

The Sparrow protested.
Held on to the nest and the tree.
Firmly.

The Cat shook the tree.
Everyday,
All the time.

The Sparrow protested.
Couldn't hold on any longer.
Tough.

The Cat shook the tree.
Everyday,
All the time.

The Sparrow protested.
The nest crashed.
Eggs broke.

The Cat shook the tree.
Everyday,
All the time.

The Cat teased the sparrow.
What kind of parent?
Can't take care of your nest?

Protecting the nest
Is your first duty.
It preached.

The Sparrow was sad.
He felt guilty.
Terrible.

The Sparrow didn't protest.
He forgot that the Cat was the one who
Shook the tree.

Miss you

When solitude becomes loneliness
When peace becomes silence
That’s when I miss being myself
I miss you!

Being a mother

Mourning the death
Of a child we never had
Mourning the demise
Of hope

Unknown Bond

Don’t say sorry…
We have a bond. Not an obligation.
We have an understanding. Not a promise.
We simply care…
