Birdsong before dawn

Before the dawn
even
before spring
you wake me
with your
cacophonous 
conversation
high and low
staccato
then slow
the call that trills up
like a slide whistle
the rounded one note
of the dove
Far west
on the lake
geese are calling
at the seam
of the eastern horizon
the sun awakes
