after lunch
in the lull of mid-afternoon
you start cooing…
and
lure me
from the sunlight
into the shadows
into the shadows
of sleep

Three Fat Pigeons by Jeanie Axton
2 CommentsThree fat pigeons
looking very needy,
waddled around a bakery
in central Coober Pedy.
Pecking at the crumbs
with not a worry in sight,
these three fat pigeons
have given up their flight.
An interesting read about the pigeons who didn’t give up their flight!

The pigeon struts
along the ledge:
he never gets
too near the edge.
