Looking up


The geese held the Moon for ransom this morning and even once they'd gone on to their lakes and ponds the Moon stayed, settling into the blue when it should have been hiding. It even became shapeshifter as we worked through the morning once too close and then suddenly a dime against the Sun's weight. Eventually it tired and crept off to bed, weary of a sky that offered no cover, no clouds, no early dusk.

    Those don't look like geese to me, what kind are they?
