"Spring Follows Winter Once More" by Tom Hennen

"Snow Geese, Spring, Point Barrow, Alaska" by Michael P. Frase

Lying here in the tall grass
Where it’s so soft
Is this what it is to go home?
Into the earth
Of worms and black smells
With a larch tree gathering sunlight
In the spring afternoon

And the gates of Paradise open just enough
To let out
A flock of geese.
