Five in the Morning

by , art by Christopher Coffey | in Poetry | Mon, 15 October 2012

As I lie sleepless in the semidarkness,
the birds warm up their voices,
& it occurs to me that only birds know
what birds are saying, just as only you know
how to make me crackle & roar
like the burning lab of a mad scientist.
