POEM 1 : ENCROACHMENT
One evening after work
groping in the mailbox
for messages, letters from nowhere,
my fingers encountered
sprigs, twigs and eggs.
A bird had nested
right inside my mailbox.
Annoyed. I cleared it all
except for the eggs.
Later in the evening
a squall had me out
hastily gathering, clothes left drying.
In the garden, hopping
in clumsy hurry, was a mainah
balancing in its yellow beak
twigs and slender sticks
heading for my mailbox
laboriously to rebuild
the cosy nest I had wrecked.
My vision blurred in the heady showers,
the message I had missed
quite clearly I read
in the incongruous nest
hidden in the wooden box.
A trespass, an encroachment
that escaped prosecution, Harald
a slow persecution
through a decimation of its habitat
leaving no room to nest
except in wooden post boxes
nailed to concrete walls.
-Neerada Suresh
