The Nest

They were told that their grip might‬ ‪

be strangling me, that despite‬ ‪

all the danger they could not‬ ‪

keep me forever just caught‬ ‪

in the nest they’d made for me.‬ ‪

They are told that this virus 

waits hidden, that their children‬ ‪

long gone from their home just want‬ ‪

them to keep themselves safely‬ 

‪here in the nest, far away from harm.‬
