Two ibises


Sounding their horns harshly
two ibises rise from the lawn,
rise from their snail pecking
with hard big wings
 
slapping against the rainy air,
but neck on neck
keeping to straight formation
stretching out lifting into the wind
 
again they shriek at the barking dog
before swinging in flight
to a new direction.
