The Yuiguirro

This is a poem I wrote a few months ago... still in the process of writing, but thought I'd share it...
(The yiguirro is Costa Rica's national bird. It sings for only about 3 months of the year. When it sings, it sings its heart out from before dawn until evening.)

There are times I am too tired to even desire
   nothing left inside to be refreshed.
Can fatigue annihilate that which used to be
   that resilience which has so often saved me from collapse?

I awake and hear the yiguirro and look at the clock.
   3:30AM.
I try hard to offer understanding to this
  plain-looking, time-impaired bird
  with a lovely, yet loud, monotonous song.

Sadly, the yiguirro no longer nests in my mind as the national bird
  but as an alarm sounding relentless, exhausting pain.
"Not even sleep will give you a break,"
   he chirps cheerfully.
