alone in the early morning
peaceful, pets are back to sleep
outside, very still but not quiet
the dawn chorus doesn’t care about social distancing
early morning in early spring
cardinals chirp their bright red love outside my window
and the mouse is hungry
they care nothing for a virus
chirping and preening
pick me
pick me
love lust life it always finds a way
and death will surprise them
as it does us, our unexpected guest
yet they sing, careless
and we, careful
must sing also
life finds a way.
