My nest ones home now prison

l am alone 

Can’t

Move

My body stiff

Where is my family?

Longing

Water

Longing

Food 

l can’t fly 

l feel like 

Nothing

As l watch 

The leaves fall like

Ballerinas swirling through the sky

Smoke drifting through the air

Fire merges up my tree; a virus spreading

l am not safe here

I must get out

My nest once home, now prison.
