Incipient Signs

Before the stray, early blossoms
Before the green shoots announced themselves
It was the birds, dozens of them that morning
That descended on the bare tree branches
The small ones this time, inquisitive at once
Their colors indicating the southern provenance
Tentative at this stage but the tweets confirmed it
Modulo a final freeze, spring was coming
