does your song go
unfinished
at such an early hour?
What sadness is there
which can't be told
when the crows have finally ceased
their bickering?
Mister Rooster, why don't you
finish your tale
this morning?
Tell us your woes.
Have you forgotten
how well
ears listen
when bodies sleep?
Your story will be held
safely,
waiting for minds
ready to listen.
