September Swallows

 

Knots on the wires untying themselves,.

rise into the sky

like crochets escaping staves.


September swallows, restless,

must shed nesting order

as commas might abandon sentences.


Their Autumn selves must unfurl,

wheel, sweep and swoop; for tomorrow

they will trace lines of longitude.
