Last Fall

Geese move in and out of formation in shimmering ribbon
Tied and crossed over, wrapping the sky.
Yes, I asked to be cleansed of judgment day
and what binds me now is loosened in the north pointing arrow
my hardest heart lifted and the sun comes through the gray clouds.
Dear God I asked them all the family stories, and see

that this could be lifted out by the roots.
