The Warning

The warning The sparrows are flying frantically about something is going on in their world should I take it as a warning a tsunami is on its way to the coast or an earthquake. Animals sense things we have forgotten or think we have. When roses chaff in a vase, it could be the end of love or the woman in the room is angry with her lover. It could also be the beginning of the end of the world as we walk around knowing nothing Except, a certain feeling of foreboding dismissed as ire too many whiskies the night before. Then, when the sky falls down to earth in lovers embrace Their union is our extermination.
