The Swans

Huddled like rabbits By the hole by the fence Frozen like statues To the chair on the lake Clouds of birds Make shadows on the moss Fields of kale All patterned with ice Oh-ohohhh ouuuuutside Oh-ohohhh the swans rise Like the neck of a swan And the veil of the sky All peppered with rain A fields of crows They cling to the bone And the a love unchanged By the chatter of time Oh-ohohhh outside Oh-ohohhh the swans rise
