Bedroom Glass

Topics: classic

Counted three white pigeons         on a roof, near a gable         silhouetting a barn;         as an afterthought         killed as many nervy bluebottles         on the bedroom glass as         warnings to myself, perhaps,         or the elements pelting the window         with ice beads, tiny crystalline         versions of those distant elephantine birds.
