This recipe might go well with the Forgotten Pot Roast. I found two different writings of this one so I have included them both. They are probably the same recipe, but one is easier to read. I love the messy splotches and see them as an indicator of a well-loved recipe.

The First Sound is Never the Birds
The first sound is never the birds
Neither the coo of the pigeon in the palm
Nor the call of the scrub blackbird
Trash truck sounds first
Diesel motor idle roar
Breaking bottles
Pre-dawn-end-of-the-route whisper
Of tired haulers
Hoarse
Then
Cars racing
Motorcycles revving
(Car alarms activated)
House alarms
Dog alarms
Fresh bread morning whistles
Ice cream tricycle kazoos
Old Marta shouting, “Ta-ma-le-ta-ma-le-ta-ma-le!”
(The first time I listened late and heard ma-le-ta [suitcase] not tamale)
Emergency sirens
Pounding, drilling, sanding, scraping
Street-vibrating renovations
Eleven million vying
Pause
Coo
. Call
Chirp
Song
Relax and respond
Never the first, never the last
Yet always the soothe in the din-
Awareness revealing the bird-song
Listen
For the coo of the pigeon in the palm
And the call of the scrub blackbird
