corvid alarm
firs by the house,
their favorite roost
every dawn
a host of crows
rattles me awake
to begin my day
harsh conversation
are they greeting
each other? the day?
or deciding
best scavenging ground
an insect find where
tasty lizards hide
then with wing-whoosh
and crow-caw din
they’re gone
workday has begun
Love the "crow-caw" din! Nice!
Crows can be noisy and obnoxious, but Hector often visits my backyard, and I like his company, sitting on the wire as he does, observing me. Sometimes he calls his cousins and they gather to celebrate the day, and I do, too.
