Joseph A. W. Quintela watches the birds fly south each autumn and wonders if they’ll carry away his dreams. He finds it is too cold to dream in winter, that the language spoken by white streets and naked branches cannot be translated into the songs of content sleep.  He thinks, if only I had been born winged and looks through the sketches of DaVinci with the hope he’ll find the secrets of flight. His search is futile, his bones too heavy to bear him into the sky, his lips too soft to bandy with the flock’s sharp, resounding cries.
