The lot is wide, 30 or 40 yards at least
framed by the Sears mall
Union turnpike
and low rise building slung 1 of 4.
Empty and quiet
I stand for a minute
admiring the cut of three leafless trees along a bank
branches trellising the whispering dawn clouds.
A hundred or so yards down
a V-formation of geese appears
swooping across the lot in my general direction.
The lot is wide, 30 or 40 yards at least
and they continue
flying precisely over my head
precisely over my car
precisely over this morning
emitting in choral flight a song we sing.
