Yesterday's Wishes
He wished to teach them
To flap harder in thin air
To learn the tricks to rest,
To eat, to know when to
Start the flight, when to
Return and the route map
Mother wished to teach them
To call, to breathe more
Deeply and ways to save
Energy as they flew such
Dizzy altitudes in freezing
Cold & not to be blown away
As they looked up at meshed sky,
Yesterday’s wishes rolled
Down the cheeks of a
Monogamous pair of
Bar-headed goose
Breeding in captivity
Why fly high?
