Eyes caught in
Tranced stare dance
At skies
Observant as
The exodus lumbers on

Clouding vision with slow grace and
Grandeur
Relentless billows,
Stoic breath
My hair pulling forward
Streamlined and screaming

Jackets hanging abandoned from the branches
The stripings of warfare
Bright colors left behind
Life stolen along as
The exodus keeps marching

The silent sigh
The softly whispered
“north north north”
Pulling at my hair
Earthbound entranced.

Soliloquies of death.
Turning with tide.
I feel the rush stir me
Seated.
I watch the exodus go by
Symphony in movement
And quiet
The stillness travels
Makes its way across the sky
