I Cannot Place You

your colors don’t match

By Andrea Corwin Published 9 months ago 1 min read

who are you out in the field,

walking and digging

with the Canadians?

I cannot place you

and I surely don’t want to insult you -

are you a mixed hybrid?

Could you be a Barnacle goose off the beaten path, having lost your way during migration?

I’ve never seen your kind.

Perhaps you are the offspring between a Canadian, mated with a Barnacle or snow goose? Do you know?

You weren’t alone in your different colors wandering the muddy fields. I wonder if the others are your siblings and if your parents are near.

Your mystery may be solved — but not today.
