Was it Murder?

Was it murder
or just the cruel wind
that brought the three little babies to their untimely end?

Over by the work boots
beside the rubbish bin
Lay a tiny little avian corpse blind to the world once again.

Climbing up to peer inside
the eerie quiet hanging fern
their empty little nest caused my eyes to burn.

My feline companions
long since asleep
won't say if they have a secret to keep.
