Migration

Wanderers gather in a bright August tangle—
scratched legs scramble through jewelweed
follow a monarch's riches dripping from Joe-Pye weed.

Tomorrow (all meetings finished)
both wings and feet surrender the meadow
to a descending sun.

Many thanks. I just took it this afternoon, and it's already one of my favourites.

Okay, I saw your post now, so I understand. I was not offended by your misreading. These things happen.
