I Fly

V

5 birds in the sky

a giant V cut out

from a book’s first page,

it floats up and down

at irregular intervals,

seems to lose direction,

confused -

it’s hard to

keep things in order

at an altitude

swept by winds alone,

in a city where the

lights of dawn

sparkle brighter than stars -

as i watch,

the old leader

takes control of the

V formation

and the birds float

over the hills

and into the safety

of the ever restless

breathing sea.
