Dateline~ 9/11 Part ii

A time to build

He looks at it, the residue, the left over.

He has to try. It is nature. The way he can

fly, the way he knows it is the season to find

love, he has to try. Try to build. His little nest.

 

The female one is too withdrawn. Still her eyes are

transfixed on the broken shells, half eaten eggs and

bits of their nest. The male bird is looking for

a safer place, if there is one ever. New nest.

 

A cruel yet neutral sun is watching them.

Snakes may return but the life must go on.

This is really touching as a second part of your 9/11 remembrence!
I like it because it is easily to visualize and the parallel with the human victims is obvious.
The victims of the plane crashing into buildings, their next of kin left in despair ...
It is like a bird having it's nest demolished by prowling felines, broken eggs, baby birds killed
A wonderful but very sad metaphore!
Really pundit writing as usual!
