baby birds that have fallen out of their nest???

so tiny.

helpless.

scared.

we came home last week,
and found seven little baby birds running around
our driveway & garage,

they had no idea what to do.

we had no idea what to do.

no one touched them. because that’s the one thing,
we’ve all learned in school.

these baby birds made me think of the

and the panic that sets in immediately.
the pit in my stomach that hurt, so instantly.

i lost myla once in a public library,
