Zugunruhe

please expand

the flocks combine

a roar of wings above the drier field

we feel it too the urge to fly

nomads restless in the clearer night

deeper in the banded velvet void

seeking peace expecting less

chipmunks clucking in the stonerows

deer in the sweetcorn empty husks

purple stains upon the path

the earth-song of the cricket through it all

the sound of our own breathing

the roaring of our blood

migration through the inner dark

we hear the apple fall
