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.
