"just outside our attic window.
Pigeons knock against the pane –
what use are they as company?
The passing winds shout me their greeting – what good is that? Winds, on your way!
They’re colourless, and like the flocks
of pigeons, quite incapable
of saying, in the wonder-working tones that you would use:
‘Marina!’ "

write up the whole caboodle on my cross!
‘Her days began with songs,
ended in tears,
but when she died,
she split her sides with laughter!’ "

Still, it matters.
