Tabernacle Choir
It's a pale cool night
in cold late Spring
a bleak Lake Michigan
The buds are barely
In the distance
satellite dishes perch on roofs
so many scrawny blackbirds
In the park nearby
sound of crows
gaggles of geese
flocks of seagulls
all other migratory
feathery friends
Together they are
my early May choir
