Four blue jays and twenty-one geese A hawk, a starling, Seagulls away from sea-- I read you like a letter A haiku in Spring I heard you like soft Autumn walk And clouds not wanting to be still I heard you in the wind, When it blew in from the North A crisp clean chill An announcement Of endings and beginnings I saw you in the Sun that did not last I saw you in the expectant Moon that came Made way for darkness and dawn Then gave it all up to the wind And I flew.
