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<\/p>\n\n\n\n
early morning in early spring
cardinals chirp their bright red love outside my window
and the mouse is hungry<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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<\/p>\n\n\n\n
as it does us, our unexpected guest<\/p>\n\n\n\n
yet they sing, careless
and we, careful
must sing also<\/p>\n\n\n\n
life finds a way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
