IMPROVISATION#307
LIKE FALLING BIRDS

Like falling paper planes
in a mirage
from the third sky
two geese from Canada
land like thunder
by tree limbs
near a motionless river
drawing in
a landscape artist
from Montreal
by a shade of leaves
who shapes Russian icons
as a poet nearby
in the park
churns out consonants
accompanied by riffs
of jazz
to prophesy
into the March winds.
