morning opens my eyes
my heart longs to embrace
the soul of this day
Rise
You
everyone’s looking around
I’m looking
right at you
Which Way?
decisions
in the rafter
made by consensus
So Where Was I
when
everyone else
got feathers
Teenagers
the world
was created
for their exploration
Hunt
searching the old corn field
for grub be it bug or blade
The Boys
together
they navigate
winter’s slow ending
The Trek
Up to their knees in snow
a trio of turkeys
navigate the rock wall.
The Other Side
Turkeys hurry
to get to the far side
of Thanksgiving.
