Trade dawn choruses with fellow finches — tune the dial, sing, barter, roost.
Turn the brass ring to choose your dawn. Each hour wakes a different thicket.
Thrushes first, then finches. Mist hangs low over the brambles.
Tap steps to feather your motif. Sing it, name it, loose it to the winds.
Strange songs drift in. Keep one and it joins your roost.
Perched notes from the flock. Pin a cry, praise a song — the board remembers (localStorage).
