waking to the strangled song
of geese, they insist
now is no time to be asleep

at first light
the sound of geese
enters my sleep
between heartbeats
perhaps it’s stubborn
to call it music, perhaps
we all long for the world
to sing us awake

those wild geese
edging the clouds, my thoughts fly
beyond their wings
*
just one more row
I think, and knit one more and think
just one more row
*
the night pressed
its darkness into me, what
could I do but open
*
these ears
go on a long walk looking
for bird song
*
while no one’s watching
I trade all my molecules
with the night
*
did someone sow
all those stars, or did someone
trip and spill the bag
*
walking at two below
both questions and answers
come out as clouds
