Notes About The Poem

After the Geese Have Gone

We were that grass you spoke of sir
amidst a blur of wings igniting;
swaying tall from out our marsh
in briefest glimpse of sacred writing.
Now rippled waters long to cleanse 
our feet of muddied clay;
all wings are silenced of their song 
gone ghost within our sway.
