Nesting Valentine

My brain is the nest
of a bluebird or eagle
a spoonbill or the crested
nocturnal booby of fable
depending how stable
the clouds I read
thinking of all the empty
ones hanging in trees
abandoned rendezvous
in crumbling breeze
a nest can be young once
or reborn year after year
some lined with a fine
weaving of dreaming
and waking like mine
