Geese now flocking But strange I find them Sheltering under Unlikely trees The water now too warm for their liking and At odds with Ancient instincts What have we done What have we done What have we done
Strange
Geese on Glass
Geese on glass Tentative Cautious (like we are) When We’re On Thin Ice
Geese Scatter
The lake
Now teeming with goose and gander
Awakens
Filled
With noise and splatter
Honk
Honk
Honk
Honk
You fly
Organized by some unseen eye
In v’s and v’s and v’s and v’s
Flee fly flo
(my beloved)
Off.
You.
Go.
Geese Gleaning
Geese gleaning Fields of gold Someone's trash Is another one’s trove
The Geese Are Gone
The geese are gone The geese are gone The geese are gone Go Slow Mow Settle Mettle Put on the Kettle Go
Geese Gather
Geese Gather while Sorrow and Joy Peace and Fear Sage siblings Wrestle (for) Preeminence Predominance Winter’s rest I welcome you From afar
Geese Cry
Geese Cry Heralds of Spring I welcome you I welcome You You who make all things new
Two geese
The two geese returning yesterday Were a singular comfort to me Spring is still coming They are not worried Consider the birds of the air
