Mates
MATES
A bursting release
From hedgerow trees -
Woodpigeons – a pair of mates,
Wheeling left and right, then straight.
Faster, slower,
No leader, no follower -
Both sensing direction instantly,
Simultaneously,
The right way. Instinctively:
The pair dive, then gain height,
Then disappear - off to the right.
