flocking south

i see the flock
of boomers
winging their way to warmer
climates,
to southern states,
to the orange groves
they go.
stretching out
beneath the sun
and palm
trees,
lying there in old
age,
staring at
the languid blue
wash of sea. pretending
that it's not over.
the life
before them a distant
and fading
memory.
