A pigeon hit my hand
today
As he flew up I could feel
A small soft head,
Bump and brush my knuckles.
And quick wings took him away
above the walls,
the people.
me.
I could feel you in my mouth
two days ago
brushing my face
aside
Fast breaths
Blue hair
Blonde eyes
And the old woman
hangs our laundry
smiling.
I can still feel him grab my
arm
Last week.
Rough hands
that hate me now
Liquor eyes,
sad breath,
and a thumb digs
desperation into my cheek
And I fly,
above him,
the people,
and me.
