Sparrows

And on my early mornings
These disheveled bony sparrows
Get nothing but the ashes
From over my concrete bench
Not a single ray of sun from above
To dry their soaked feathers
No other source of warmth
But from my smokey breath
It is both an offering
And an offence to the skies
Ascending hazily into the vast grey
I am not a creature anymore
I am everything, everywhere.
