I followed two birds for awhile
my eyes fixed on them for quite some time
One flapped the full vertical wingspan
up and down in a half circle
while the other coasted in the tailwind
They descended toward the sand
without touching down, then rose again
to where the Gulf meets the sky
At once they flapped their wings in unison
off to their destination
Perhaps the flight, the birdseye view
is all they are seeking
I am lost in wonder and blink
then they are gone.
