DEPARTURE OF ANIMALS

They are going and going,
they are crying
but we don't hear them
     Some are big, some are small,
     Some have feathers,
     Some are striped
     Some are polka-dotted.
     Red and black.
     They are crawling, flying, swimming.
With tears, they sing with tears.
We won't see them anymore.
But they?
