Hidden from sight, American Goldfinch, Black-and-white Warbler, White-throated Sparrow, Wood Thrush, Hermit Thrush, Ovenbird sing in the rain. They do not wait for the sky to change color, for the sun to rise. We did not sleep through, nor see the sun rise today. Fenced-in-land holds water in low-lying places. Deck varnished with rain, tractor, truck shiny as if just polished. After the three are dried, given a biscuit, napping; while coffee drips into a yellow cup, after Ruger moves from the rug beside the door, I walk in the rain seeking another view of morning.
Hidden things are merely out of our line of sight.
