Day Nineteen: {how to} listen to birds in the morning

{how to} listen to birds in the morning
requires golden {pause} stilling
to the cirrus circling chaos
< sorrow's quaking fire
{pause}
soak
      down
            down
                   down
to root & nebula's core
lift up
to heaven's fog & blue
wait     for     it ....
the birdchatter of dawn
dew-gleaning green
waking
close eyes softly
(listen)
pierce
the
morning
(listen)
there ...
blue jays, cardinals, finches all
robins spring call
to our opening
stay where you are ...
(listen)
be the sky
