GOOSE GUARDING


Male goose stands

chest puffed out.

Guarding.


Only his head swivels,

to track invaders

on the boardwalk.


Slim female

feeds gracefully

head darting down for food

never needing to look up.

She knows he’s there.


Mated for life

he stands guard

in Alaska in the summer

in Mississippi in the winter.


Our male energy

guards and protects

our female energy

as it feeds and nurtures.
