PIGEONS

Once we walked into a field and watched pigeons

black out the sky, thousands of wings whirring,

and it was a wonder they stayed aloft.

The most brilliant part of you exists to haunt me:

a bomb in the womb or men in the rafters.

Sometimes I can’t believe my heart,

how it continues.

How it isn’t black and withered,

how the chambers remain clear,

the beat plain and perfect.
