It was after the last leaf had fallen
After I decided I had thought enough
After I slipped into myself
And allowed myself to rest inside my work clothes
That I lifted my eyes to the sky
It was after I realized that the sun had set
It was after I caught sight of the crescent moon
That I heard the first goose calling
And it was after I heard the first goose
That I heard the rest
And it was after that that I saw them
And it was after I saw them
That I tried to count them and couldn't
Because they were so many
And it was after I stopped trying to count them
That I watched them disappear
