September's Song

Tired wings seek rest
from long journey’s flight

silhouettes in idle formation,
a landscape upon horizon’s calm.

Feathery leaders
aiming at a vacant field

now waves descending
in orderly swoops, unfolding
as a feathery waterfall.

Canada’s distant from
Hudson Bay shore, vagabonds
looking for a home

an army of wings
honking noisily on the fly.
