A restless jay sings
drowning in night - mistaking
the streetlights for dawn

Would you believe, @introvertfl, I've written a similar poem:
Misread Signs
False prophet, nightly heralding a man-made god
gilding the air with promise of revelation
a song, in truth, no less sweet for being counterfeit,
let us forgive the short-sighted visionary
Pity the poor bird its ill-timed enthusiasm,
its unholy lapse of judgment and misplaced hymn
having mistaken a common streetlamp
for the miracle of a rising sun…
