morning
traffic on the avenue
breaking
up disparate bird songs
on
the ridge
not
sure if cacophony is the right word
but i'll use it
blue
jay-robin-cardinal-yellow finch-sparrow-chimney swift
a lone woodpecker
no crows this early
keep cover there's a hawk
the
dog barks at something out-of-tune
most everything
like
a tractor-flatbed trailer
down-shift
grind of steel
not
quite meshing gears
rough-cut
transmission out-of-warranty
hauling
pipeline sections
bound
& gagged
once a route to wooded hills
cacophony
now clear-cut
fracked
