By the way a rock pigeon cooed

Amy Michelle Mosier

By the way a rock pigeon cooed

Deliberately out of sight

And moved me to rise from bed

With my own jingle in heart

 

And July's breath stills the pond

In its disarming manner

And robs the chimes of their song

And warms the oleander

 

And the way a cottontail

Sits and stirs among the grass

And a quail stands atop the wall

And doesn't mind my presence

 

And the storm clouds were splintered

To let a golden haze form dawn -

I can feel that something good

And blessed is about to happen.
