The Bird on the Roof at Dawn

A still morning: a bird walks across a roof, pecking and testing the world step by step among barbecue scraps and scattered leaves. Nearby, other birds move on or stay, each tending small adjustments—worms pulled from damp soil, twigs rearranged, gulls arguing with the wind—while the day slowly begins. Simple moments add up to a quiet invitation: leave a window open for a while and listen to what has already begun without you.
