Still Hope at Pigeon Cove

Still
I sit at dusk
Quiet, with a sea view

Half sky
Quarter sea
Quarter grass

And me
My hands cupped
Waiting to receive

At dawn the sun arose
The love within, Emma
Emmanuel for some

Released a dove
Looking for a cove
All day it comes

Across the half sky
Across the quarter blue
Across the quarter green

Arriving to alight
On my left shoulder
Its feet prickle my skin

With a slight flutter
Down my arm
It nestles into my hands

So fluffy
So warm, so light
It coos

My partner cups her hand
Gently under my right
So slowly I slide it out

Our white pigeon
Still comfy
Let’s us know

It is time to sleep
And we will awake, with
Hope
