Pigeon pullets
on the rim
of the dim
echo shaft
indubitably
indubitably
eye speckled shells
on the edge
of the ledge
in silo high
indubitably
indubitably
I climb the walls
fermented air
precarious stair,
rung by rung
indubitably
indubitably
Tiny windmills
fields of oats
all God’s world lies
intersected east to west
for pigeon view,
the quarry laced by apple bloom,
the pasture clover strewn.
imperturbably
imperturbably
His pigeons stare
from rainbow necks
at rainbow skies,
no surprise
to pigeon eyes.
