on the way

on the way

migratory birds—

if the longing isn't enough

a swan's feather

all that remains

longing

fills my heart

by their voices

migratory birds

the huge distances

we can only

overcome together

flying wild geese

longing — deep written inside my DNA migratory cranes

the voice in my ears
