leaving


in the day they pass overhead and you can feel as much as hear the great beating of their wings and their talking to each other wrestles its way through the windows like some strange song being sung from very far away and yet, they are entirely there right above our heads and my class rushes to the window to say goodbye . . .

I always hear them before I see them. Saw my first V heading south earlier this week.

i've been watching them heading south for a couple of months now. it's confusing for them because very few of the visual cues are there to trigger their instincts. . . . steven
