sonnet for the bird cave - Alani Hicks-Bartlett

Picture
            what you lose the earth reclaims.
            what one loses the earth reclaims.
            what one has lost the earth wins back.
            what one has lost the earth regains.
 
            what one will lose the earth reclaims.
            what one will lose the earth will keep.
            how have you lost what you must hold?
            where did you go when you were lost?
 
            why will you keep losing what you lost once?
            what the earth swallows has not been held.
            what swallows can the earth still hold?
 
            why have you lost what you must keep?
            what do swallows gain from staying lost?
            why have you lost what you must keep?
