Map me into the land

by Nicky Hurle

Intelligent eyes look my way

Map me into the land

Cool indifference

Ignorance is bliss

Panda colours on telegraph lines

Cable ties irrelevant

Swooping is for the enemy

A landscape element

My quiet voice

Their clarion call

Nesting high danger denied

Fledgling efforts to fly

Table’s crumbs spread

Hand fed titbits

Timidity overcome

Silence rules the empty thoroughfare

Airborne, feathers aloft

Discarded nidus

Dry remaining fragments

Alone once more til spring
