I woke up to a birdsong today,
Finally, after a very long time.
And I lay in bed. Rapt. Silent.
And held on to every note.
For twenty seconds I found peace,
Communion, with nature.
Until I was interrupted,
By twin explosions,
Of malevolent noise.
The Doorbell.
Blow away the birdsong,
and with it, my moment.
Why could it not last longer?
Did the birds stop singing?
I cannot get rid of this pain at the back of my head,
and I can no longer return to sleep.
