Making the Most of Our Voices
When the ten thousand snow geese
descended onto the toxic tailing pond
the mining company had left behind
watchers declared their flight
beautiful
and horrifying
their smudged
black-tipped wings like batons
conducting the music of their honking
but their descent
could not be stopped
even by those
who hollered and howled
who whispered and prayed
desperate to divert
that hallelujah of beating wings
