Laughter in Grey
kookaburras
somehow laugh faster
in the cold
Consider this a sequel to Rainbows in Grey and another lament about the suffering of birds in the wintertime. My city is always full of cackling kookaburras, but in the colder months their laughter becomes brittle, and you can almost feel the chills in their voices. Fortunately the cold seems to be easing up, so I can’t wait until they’re screaming at full force again.
