Still, woodland clearing
geese rise, through millennia,
when the season calls
our steps quicken to beat dusk
our short breath puffs of white mist

Yes, it was them calling that got my attention. Not easy to see them through the trees but I followed them as far as I could with the phone camera :) Thank you.
