Mourning Doves
| 30 Aug 2013 | 02:16
Detail of blackbird nest isolated on white
A rough platform of twigs
no lip no edge
nothing to stop the naked babies
from tumbling into the
waiting jaws of the cat
Sad calls quiver though the mist
Are they apologies for a bum nest?
Will you do better next time?
“Well, no” they cooed so sadly
We’ll probably do the same thing again
just like you
