abandoned art

this nest, with two eggs,  has been sitting on my piano since spring. it was a a gift from my walking partner and best friend since college, kristin. the unfortunate mama robin made the nest in the light beside kristin’s front door–the main and busy entry to her home. eventually, mama got scared off, and never came back. so the nest became a melancholy gift to STILL. i know from experience those eggs won’t hold up forever (i never emptied them). eventually they will deteriorate. but in the meantime, i will leave it on my piano like the ephemeral art they are. thank you mama robin. i hope you have made more babies.
