Scenic Overpass Just Past Washburn

The woman was standing
in the middle of Highway 13
and I had to slow my car
to avoid her.

Then I followed her gaze
to the sixty some wings
gracefully v-ing above us
and I stopped.

I rolled my window down,
and we listened for a long time
as their freedom song
collided with us.

The woman and I
in the middle of the road,
we’re glad there was no way
to avoid them.
