Nest

Life and death
Are two worms
Crawling in the hands of his greatness
And we,
we are just birdlings
opening our mouths
Wide open for a snack
we cannot live off one worm forever
It is in his discretion
Which worm we swallow
How long we will ditch the other
And when we will swallow the other
We swallow what has been served by the master
Yet we always open our mouths in anticipation
