soar.

Standard

with the absence of so many humans

the animals have reclaimed their territory

and even branched out to try things that might be new

when i saw this goose standing full of pride and bravado on top of the bridge

all i could think of was that scene from ‘titanic’ when jack said to rose:

“i’m the king of the world!”

and he believed that for a little while.

flying high.

flying high at our class circus.

“as one, they leap, laughing,

and that is where we leave them –

mouths open, arms spread wide,

fingers splayed to take in the whole world,

bodies flying high in defiance of gravity, 

as if they will never fall.”

fly.

Standard

this crew has built their own airplane.

they are flying to australia.

it will take them “70 miles long” to get there.

i have no doubt they will arrive safely and on time.
