cliff-dwelling swallows

[fledgist]

 cliff-dwelling swallows in the dryer vent

are a connection that we have to face

between free nature and the harsh rat race

at intersection of domestic content

where meaning  action symbol and intent

all come together in a single place

as bird and woman each concede a space

and neither knows just what the other meant

the niche that out of nature has been set

for me to watch as swallows make their home

is given proper purpose by the flight

of urgent swallows leaving as the wet

signals of springtime depart from the dome

of bluing sky and cheer  me by the sight
