James Marshall Goff Poet Free verse

Descent of the Geese

DESCENT OF THE GEESE

defying levitation,
they wangled wings in unison-
breaking over the cresting waves
as sundown beckoned loneliness

war, starvation, hypocrisy, 
nothing of man mattered,
only encumbered rest was real

no expectation, no disappointments
secure together, rest, assured
