Dark Eyed Baby Robin

Spring is finding
a cracked robin's egg
lying in the long
dark green grass.
Any piece of shell
with a delicate pale blue
if it catches my attention.
Then it is so true
I look up intuitively
for an outline above
of a well built nest.
It's maybe too soon
to hear its hungry cries
of dark eyed baby robins,
but it won't be long
before you do.
