The Nest
Jose Gonzalez
In Our Nature (2007)

Saw them gathering sticks from the ground
By the thicket while assembling a nest
on the alert for any lingering threats
building frantically without any rest

Walls grew dense and blocked out the sun
caving in everyone
Darkness fell wiped out a once joyous tone
then famished, like posessed end up eating their own.

Saw them gathering sticks from the ground
by the thicket while assembling the nest
