In this moment,

Something significantly empowering,

Life changing,

Shelter,

Me the wings to your home,

Pulling all that you have together,

Comfort zone out of bones,

Rest your flesh on my gaunt pelvis,

We’ll create a nest on my chest,

When it is time for you to feed,

Feel free,

Bring worms,

Toss and turn, 

In the bends of my limbs,

Chirp, chirp, chirp.
