Crowded Out by Golfers

Wood Herons_Threatened Species

Stretchy pants and bright collared shirts,

outfitted with ball caps and turf shoes

the golfers have reached the green

are lining up their putt

***

on a slope, behind the hole is

a muster of storks,

a bird crowd at the golf course,

not cheering for men with the metal clubs

those who took their native land for a

gentleman's game.
