raze i saw us today.

before the sun was
swallowed by
an uncertain sky,
eleven geese flew
in formation —

a wedge of
winged wonder.

two broke apart
from the group
to make their
own music.

they sang what
they had to say
and soared into
the second year of
their storied lives.

if i had you
here with me,
i would have
pointed at this
moving picture
and burned it
into our brains
so we would always
see ourselves just
as we are now.
