Not Black and White
Passing by the old Cedars, we see half black and white feathers scattered on the ground. Inspecting them, we identify that they belong to a Mourning Dove. Wondering what kind of animal would attack like this, we consider a cat or a Raccoon. It could not have been one of our neighbors, the Mule Deer since they are Vegetarians. The unknown question is why couldn’t it fly away? The family of Mourning Doves has vacated our field for good.

My Head Raises
when i feel alone
there’s fuzz in my brain
but when it dissipates
your face appears
i lift my head

Serenity of the Bride
serenity fills
the heart of the bride
when all is done
her groom’s face
comes to mind
