What Abides, What Abates

(a preview to California)

In the high corner above the Home’s front door, exactly where you’d mount a security camera, there’s a swallow who peaks down through its lens-shaped nest hole, quietly surveying everyone who enters & exits. When I stared at it, it stared back, remembering everything.

For this sentinel’s vigilance, my grandmother says, she rests easier here.
