Description:

It is Not a Swan Song dots

-------------------------------------------

it is
a dove not cooing
in the side yard

it is a soft sound
of wings that
flutter

growing louder
as the thing
bangs into the fence

to death

headless

makes me think of that song by peter gabriel back in the day...'the family and the fishing net' just because of the line in it: Headless chickens

i like the momentum of the piece.
the sacrifice at the end is a nice touch...

now it makes me think of that cohen song, anthem...the bit about the holy dove being bought and sold and how she's never free...

eh, i do go on, don't i?
lol

Animal cruelty always makes me laugh, or maybe this poem was actually quite funny.

The last line I didn't quite get, did the poor bird decapitate itself?
