Vespers
At dusk Mr. Goose
stands guard
as Mrs. Goose
eats corn.
This is a
protocol I have noticed.
She eats,
he stands guard,
and then he eats.
There will be
goslings this spring.
That's what this
is all about.
After dinner Mrs.
Goose preens
and Mr. Goose
eats
before both
waddle away
to watch the
sunset on the edge of the pond.
