7 Pigeons

 

Seven pigeons sit on the edge

of a concrete freeway overpass

in an ugly part of town…

dreaming

of peaceful, wooded limestone cliffs

as they soak up the early morning,

primieval sun.

 

 

Ice Growing:

 

Night breeze,

Crackling sigh of limbs…

Ice growing.

 

 

Exquisite Etching:

 

Winter morning,

 

Exquisite etching of the tree…

 

The moral structure.
