Pestalozzi’s Valentine

Like the sun around a gnat
The Verdins I love to watch
Circle above the cat
 
This morning comes burdened as a child
But there’s always another nest to build
Despite the darkening clouds
 
Always another tiny pocket
Of twigs and leftover things
To stitch together at the end
 
Of a branch a hidden space
Only the morning light can find
The future of the world
 
In a few small eggs
Even the cat acts surprised
How much littleness succeeds
