Walked up Roanoke Mountain
to look at Turkey Vultures–
had been wondering how
the rest of the week might play out,
looking for signs wherever
they might be had.
When they’re swirling in those big
columns, drifting up and up
it means they’re gathering
momentum with the winds—getting ready
for a longer trip somewhere.
What they’re looking for, though,
is a question that doesn’t need asking.
