Outside the window sounds a constant shrill call.
I look for its source in the pussy willow bush
but see nothing. When I step out the door,
a disturbed hawk glides off the roof and away.
The strident alarms soon settle into a conversation as
two newly visible chickadees peck at
the ends of stems for seeds.
Praying today: For all those who will encounter danger.
