Kitchen window suggests this is a routine moment - fixing breakfast, washing dishes. Serenade suggests you don't just hear the bird but appreciate his song. So the experience combines both the ordinary and extraordinary. Is the third line a time reference? Why is there a question mark? I'm misssing something in that third line.

ah! what i meant to convey in the third line, daniel, is that this is the time before the sun rises, and the curve-bill's serenade (which i recognize as such) signals that it should be soon but isn't yet. thanks for reading and the question. suggestions? -glen
