Gone

Gone

This morning
the wasps nest
in the center of my porch
that required courage
and presence
when I left
when I returned
was gone
vanished utterly
as if the well anchored hive
and all of the hubbub
never existed
and I miss them
and am sorry
I wonder what
mighty coated being
carried it off
to enjoy the delicious
meats inside
or perhaps
the collective swarm
gathered their strength
and lifted
their home
from mine
to somewhere
less disturbing
to them.
