flying north now

there

are birds flying north.

streaming

in

v formation,

sunglasses on.

the men in little Sinatra

hats,

the women

in floral

dresses. they

tanned and rested.

white shoes,

and white belts.

small

bags in their arms

from shopping

in boutiques

in south beach.

they swoop down,

searching

for their boarded

up nests.

ready

to unpack and color

their eggs

for Easter.
