Abode : yours or mine
There was a semblance of silence ..
The sun was planning to rise and the horizon was just about an uncertain hue of pink
Sleep was sound and the peace of mind profound ...with no trepidation, unfettered on a Sunday
and then the whisper of a flutter ...gentle taps...followed by an orchestra of tap..rustle..restlessness
I finally open my eyes to stare into unblinking pair of eyes peering down in condescention and irritation (from a position of advantage ofcourse)
No need to look at the time ...its 5.30 am ...its my timely wake up call ..unscheduled ..uninvited ...
But it does not end here ..after the stare there is feet stamping furore and fury...
I get out of bed...clamber up the ledge ..there are two of them today ...
I finally put them out of their misery with minor backlashes and go back to checking every two minutes ....are they back !!
Next week ...i get their entry barred ..there are a few break ins but finally i manage to keep them out !!
But ahoy the taps and stares continue ..!! No need to invest in an alarm or think about wake up blues
I have made my peace with them and sleep blissfully till 5 every day ..greet them at 5.30 and nod off again ...
Afterall the window ledge was their home for much longer than mine ...
To the comradeship ..Pigeons and Me ...
