lake no more

random formations of
migrating geese
circled the lake
honking in tune
to a song
only the geese
could here
attempting to communicate
their story
their history
of the generations
born and reared
on the shores
of a lake
no longer home
mud flats
catfish bones
crows searching for
forgotten tidbits
of flesh
the geese sing
of sadness
of the loss of their home
of the future
that may not be
