Monday Morning Wake-Up Call
so winter begins
in the heart of a sparrow
shouting at the sky

Cold
As if to spare the birds at the feeder
any more competition than they already have
a snowflake drops right past the perches
crowded with finches, nuthatches, sparrows,
and without even thinking to open its wings
settles quietly onto the ground.

Hushed and heavy
…soon will the winter be on us,
Snow-hushed
and heavy.
