I am a sparrow.

Morning song us
to this sunrise
this beak and these ears
vibrate together.

Orange purple word-like warbles
a drift catch
hatched our future eggshells
from prior chicken questions.

Crows crow
roosters caw
doves shriek
hawks coo

across fast hearts
we may not hope to die
but we will not try
to make this music last forever.
