Cocky

at 4 a.m.
the cocks are getting
cocky

announcing
the arrival of a
satisfied
morning

everything is a yes
everybody is welcome

light penetrating
the shutters of the venetian
blinds
light filling the room
like cream
to the mouth and lips

the cocks are cocky as ever
now louder
and stronger
on voices to the skies

to a perfect morning
hail! hail! hail!
