overtures of love
on the wires above,
courting pigeons coo and hum
like their hearts will break
overtures of love
observed from afar, become
perfectly opaque
-
There are three things that amaze me—
no, four things that I don’t understand:
how an eagle glides through the sky,
how a snake slithers on a rock,
how a ship navigates the ocean,
and how a man loves a woman.
-Proverbs 30-
