Crane migration

A noisy trumpeting sound approaches
as if the bird population broke loose in an uproar

We look up

Look around
squeeze our eyes into the sky

with our hand above our eyes

in 360°

Then we see them

progressing in big V's

until all of a sudden they start to whirl
as if an unknown DJ trumpeted "Chaaaaangeeeeejz" in the microphone

to find back some new V hierarchies further in the distance

We look up

Look around 

and point our fingers to the sky

while quickly grabbing our binoculars

Gracious long necks

White and black spread wings

Long stretched out legs

floating on the winds

that will bring them to warmer weather. 

They never stop here,

they are on a mission to move on

but it's always fun to spot them those couple of days each year

while they float by above the east of Belgium.
