The first one made the first call
and then I heard the others up high.
Millions of twitters of millions of birds
vibrating the earth and the sky.
They were sharing their dreams
discussing their wishes,
planning the incoming day,
and I couldn't tell who is talking to whom
so I played with my hand with a ray
that was sneaking inside
announcing the daybreak
bringing silence which covered the noise
petting bleary-eyed me
and a whole sea of tents
and a million of businesslike birds.
