doves
raze
they
spent
most
of
the
winter
somewhere
warmer
.
florida
.
or
maybe
mexico
.
with
the
worst
of
the
cold
behind
us
now
, they've
made
their
way
back
.
i
don't
see
them
together
much
.
most
days
it's
just
him
.
he
locks
his
flexible
toes
around
the
primary wires
of
a
utility pole
and
tells
me
things
i
need
to
know
.
when
i'm
lucky
enough
to
find
his
partner
perched
beside
him
,
they
soothe
me
with
synchronized
song
,
whistling
while
they
weep
.
even
their
wings
have
stories
to
sing
.
