by Tricia Knoll
You�d pull off the road for that,
wouldn�t you? Beside Pigeon River?
A flight of forty landing.
Thin and sleek, running.
Watch their heads bob
and thin legs pedal.
You�d forget news
of feathered nests
Tricia Knoll is an Oregon poet who has only seen one wild turkey in Oregon but many, many more in Vermont.
