Zugunruhe: a feeling of restlessness or unease preceding migratiom
So many of our friends are saying
They too want to leave the country
Rising in flocks like starlings
Sweeping and turning to settle back
We call to them across the water,
tell them we have no regrets
Come, come
darkness is falling on the fields we know.
Come, come
into the sunlight before winter claims you.
A shiver runs through the flock and as one
they turn to face the wind.
