GB No. 5-6, summer-fall 1991
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?
