IXORAS NEAR THE WALL
Morning prayer,
A withered indigo sky
Backdrops my breath.
To spruce up my vision,
I exclaim "a deer?"
Mists shadow imagination.
Disowning fetish
Of juniper berries,
Ixoras acclaimed
Near the wall.
Bright yellow, even before
Midmorning sunshine.

QUADRILLE - WINGED
Turning the corner,
Into the dusty lift of
Pigeons winging up,
Pink feet tucked under,
Loud flapping sounds,
What a nusiance
To people with bare faces!
Now that masks
Are casual wear.
Do they care?
Those pigeons do
As they may.
They are pigeons.

That’s what I like about pigeons, Gillena, they just do their own thing! I love the way you describe the ‘dusty lift of / Pigeons winging up, / Pink feet tucked under’. That’s one thing I missed about travelling by train to visit my daughter: sitting at Liverpool Street Station, watching the pigeons.

The strutting care-for-nothing nature of the pigeon is highlighted her so beautifully. I enjoyed this quadrille.
