Restless noise

The nights are noisier,
owls under the eaves,
the shrill shrieks of a fight
and the restless tides of the wind.

The days are noisier
with jay and magpie squabble,
and the piping of finches
fills the trees by the house.

I wonder, do the wild things
regret the summer too
and see in the thinning leaves
the failing of the sun?
