Heretofore First Blush

Heretofore First Blush

I was pleasantly surprised
to hear a rapid-fire clicks
in succession of one
another, at 3am,
this morning

I know that’s the sounds
of happy Hummingbirds

What I didn’t know
is they are up flitting
about that early!!

The Finches, Sparrows
Cardinals, Doves, Quails,
and Turtledoves
all rise around 5:30am

The predators are up
at dawn –
save for the Owls
Who hoot until
their bedtime
at 6am

I am up and down at all hours of the night and day
