Mending Nets

From afar I watched
the old woman mending nets,
alone on the pier as the sun

In her prayerful state she toils,
her breathing in unison with the sea

I figured they were working on building a nest above the door as we would see them there repeatedly, hovering and darting around, almost seeming to be looking in the door at us. After a couple of days, I went outside to check on their progress but saw no signs of nest building. I left the door open to the nice breeze and within a few seconds, one of the birds came right...
