The Geese

the geese

this sunny midweek morning
a flattened undulating w
of some fifty greylag geese
appears high up
a dotted line dark against
the deep blue sky

purposefully they head north-west
laughing at each other
high above me as they
fly toward their summer fields

i stare and laugh back at them
my heart soars in wonder

are they the geese that
visit kilmore glen
in early spring late summer
in synch with tides that feed
the salt marsh of loch feochan?
