Geese
That I choose you or
you choose me to
make our lives together is
a lie:
whatever binds us
is whatever holds this
arrow of grey geese
straight in the sky.

That I choose you or
you choose me to
make our lives together is
a lie:
whatever binds us
is whatever holds this
arrow of grey geese
straight in the sky.
