Tim Brennan

in the field, a hundred

or so

Canada geese congregate,

maybe they are praying—

they think not of social distancing,

think not of previous loved ones.

they don’t seem sad,

seem not to think about dying,

maybe not to think enough is enough

for them—

but each time they migrate, they quiet their wings,

write in haiku the understanding of the seasons.
