My window is open

Facebook brings news of sand hills winging north in Indiana and Michigan.  My window is open. No cranes yet here is my part of Illinois.  Still.  My window is open.

I wait for the sand hill cranes

With the window open.

I need external signs

Of spring,

So I wait

Window open.

The snow melts.

There is more snow to come tonight.

But the cranes

The cranes

Have been heard

In Indiana and Michigan.

My window is open.

I await the cranes

High up.

My window

Is open.
