Monarchs

I don't want to know
The mysteries of Monarchs
Clothed in rainbow raiments
Ready for flight to a winter sojourn as
Cool winds of autumn whisper invitation.

There are those who say
Circadian rhythms stir them to flight
I prefer to ignore scientific research
And would rather believe
A lover awaits in Mexico.
