![Title: NEST
Poem:
I put, “Containers contain contents,” in writing.
Trinket boxed in tin box,
([[[Matryoshka/matryoshka/matryoshka…/matryoshka/matryoshka.]]])
The box turtles’ runic tunics, their plastrons, are hinged.
Turtles all the way in. Trojan turtles containing themselves.
All the same, continuously incontinent incorrigible continents
Frame box hoarders broken borders breached.
But, to be sure, to be held, just to be held, to be contained,
Swaddled, swathed, wrapped, insular,
Shrouded in secreted sea,
We float in, on, after, always, tears,
Moses’ fetid basket wicker woven.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wljftmuf2hn5djwlbka2dnsu/bafkreifabsu53gdmithglwlehvuxjvww5axsuha6luh5vzpvq4ethc44ty)
