Morning Birdsong
Their raucous calling before sunrise
ends sleep too early,
prompting pillows over ears,
and muttered threats of bird demise.
Yet only weeks ago
the snowplow’s roar and howling wind
inspired longing for the robin’s return
the dance of feathered visitors on the roof
and a sunrise filled with song.
