Birdhouse Repair


                                           in the midst of birdhouse repair

                                           the little stone cottage


                                           falls


                                           apart


                                           in


                                           my


                                           hands









The photograph is mine.

  2. Oh, I'd sure hate to see that one be lost! I bet there are some memories there.

    1. It was heartbreaking ... I felt loss for myself and the mother wren who made it her summer home. I replaced it with an old coffee can but, so far, she has sought shelter elsewhere. Maybe this year ...

  3. I'm thinking now of Chinua Achebe's novel, "Things Fall Apart." Indeed they do, from the most concrete to the least.
