i've been calling
they'll be gone
for a couple weeks now
yesterday, the family of wrens
flew off
at one point
i was aware
of a lot of wren jabbering
in the hedge
later in the day
it was the silence
that i noticed
they were gone
but a bit of bird doo graced
the entrance
or perhaps the exit
of the birdhouse
i believe the reluctant flyer
(there was one holding everyone else up)
crapped upon leaving the nest
