The lake is down –
To the frozen edges
A swan or two
And tasteless
Geese footing
To rocky nests
Where they curl into
Feathery boulders among
The cold pebbles
Upon which you’ll slip
Next summer
Try to find music in
Canadian geese honking
All night – by morning
You’ll know all about
Exercising in futility
They remain in spite of disdain
Small fluffy armadas floating in
February 28th’s icy water
Honking in a frosty daybreak
And, just when you’re ready
To curse the freezing dun
Madness of the season
An arcing muster of mallards
Waving in decisive consideration
Of parting clouds
Lands, arching necks
Off which the sun glints its elegant
Emerald promise of spring
