Pigeon English<br />
Caroline Hardaker<br />
Leave me with the palest grey pigeons.<br />
They understand me with their<br />
shaded backs and painted necks<br />
iridescent green tattoo inks<br />
puffed full throat and ragged collar<br />
worn through every weather.<br />
Like me, they’re out on the asphalt,<br />
a lack of toes, fumbling for crumbs,<br />
always pecking for the bit that doesn’t exist<br />
and layered on grey<br />
ingloriously blue, so blue.
