The way of love is not
a subtle argument.

The door there
is devastation.

Birds make great sky-circles
of thier freedom.
How do they learn it?

They fall, and falling,
they're given wings.

Young Loon in Michigan

This loon was in a non-breeding phase, so he got kicked out of the group and has to spend the season alone, on a lovely lake in Michigan. Next year he'll be back with the flock.
