the Exile thirteen pigeons on a light pole arched over traffic lane number fourteen perched alone. six feet of empty steel 'tween him and the flock no-bird land...perhaps? Wondering...why the pariah? what awful avian deed done cause, effect, pigeon exile? He glances wistfully it seems turns eye quickly, submissive when another looks his way. they chatter on, no mind ignoring the one outcast his loneliness felt, sorrow. his plight recognized, recorded behavior causing speculation why is he alone in his crowd? thirteen pigeons on a pole turning back on one of their own or is it he that separates? six feet of lonely abyss illuminates and illustrates... empathy, sympathy blooms anew. ~~~~~~  |
