Birds are often depicted as harbingers but also they can be welcomed as spiritual messengers....
Recall
When two pigeons land
in my back yard
they snap flash,
decades faded,
my mother's face
hand-over- mouth
to contain her laughter
that otherwise might fly
straight at my father
two feet away
toppling his camera
erasing the shot.
They always said
they'd come back
as pigeons.
