and when she went quiet i found her
brooding quietly on a nest in the rafters
on mister's back porch.
i had the feeling she went silent
not to draw attention to herself and her eggs or babies
and i hope i didn't scare her away
because then she was gone
and when i looked in the nest there was nothing
then yesterday i saw this little body
laying beneath the empty nest
and when i looked again it moved
and when i peered close
i saw it was animated by maggots.
