Why Items Tend to Shift in Flight by Sandra Meek Aerie, a two-ton nest. Adolescent pines snapped to kindle the crotch of a greater tree's looming a fledgling iced and powdered shore. Destination is warren and hunt-the quivering kit, the river's silver quickening; destiny the ginned field unfurling bolt run to stop. The shadow descending. Rising to that forked holding: three gray hooks, all fuzz and wide eyes and eager bobbing necks craned toward a sky steeling to Mother above them: that great beak, all it brings down.
