Lunas
—for John Harris
Scattered wings the color of pistachios—
a starling flies in and plucks a live one
off a dorm door's lintel. We see three more
clinging to the building's rough facade.
The light's brought them in over night.
One week of love and then they're gone—
a ribbon thin clutch of eggs left behind.
