Mourning dove, set on black wires above The cool, garden lawn, looks down on cat, Who is burning blithe birds in greenest eyes, He tastes them as he chirps in trouncing trance Fixating upon fixing them, his pious patience Is job like, steadfast, gracious as lifted wings. Early next day, all that is left of fallen mourning Dove, are a bed of feathers strewn on the lawn.
