End of Another Fourteen Hour Day on Another Ranch in Mississippi

for Beck with all my love

groups of three and four
flock in the newly
sprigged pasture

strutting in black sheen coats
complaining about
the scarecrow

two stretch into flight
flex slick wings
to perfect pitch

shrinking shadows
twist against the plow
they rise, they fall

below a ceiling of clouds
hoisted by stage hands
disguised as angels
