5:50 am

six ducks flew silently overhead

while the sky turned from pale orange

to pink tinged with crystalline blue

before becoming completely gray

for moments there were no sounds

disturbing the early morning peace

one car, then two drove by

the crows began squawking

a cardinal called out

recyclables clinked to the curb

morning was broken
