Ice Appeal

April 4

2025:

Swans and geese gather near an edge of ice
Water fowl are drawn to the edge between water and ice.
If only we could ask them why.

2026:

A single swan breaks a path through the weakening ice
With open water in abundance,
ploughing through the ice appeals to this lone swan.
Maybe it’s the challenge of breaking through it?
