She flew into the window closed
my attention drawn
to the thud then flutter
dove escaping squirrel
A change of course but
no loss in flight
protectress of her nest
neither pleasure nor pain
to be acknowledge
Simply survival
In spring there is a frenzy
to brith, bring new life
protect
There is no time for pleasure or pain
