Seeing Her Again

I spied her the other day,

A whip-poor-will,

Nestled beneath youthful conifers

In a bed of needle, leaf, and debris.

There in the shallow

Two marbled lavender-grey eggs,

Always tended, lay waiting

To burst out new life.

Mated for life, my whip-poor-will,

Became Chuck-will's poor widow,

As I watched her beloved,

The nightjar, take flight.
