Late August early mornings
bring the raucous complaints
of a flock of geese overhead.
Their squawks and shrieks
rattle through the air,
breaking the peace,
clattering through the empty skies,
echoing,
like a honeymoon-bound car
with strings of soup cans
tied to the back bumper,
and a "Just Married" sign,
taped to the trunk.
The honeymooners travel
with hope and uncertainty,
as the geese do,
to a new season
and a new start.
Geese making travel plans by the lake before taking flight.
