What Do These Birds Know
WHAT DO THESE BIRDS KNOW ?
Darkest day cold morning
Birds a-twitter in the bare tree
Yesterday they were silent at dawning
What do they see that I don’t see?
Weather is going to have less bite?
Cats have become more tractable?
Just glad to have survived the cold night,
Hoping that today will be passable?
Maybe they know that the days
Have reached their nadir and
It’s all uphill from now on? I gaze
At the tree and try to understand.
