Pigeons Poem by Aneek Chatterjee

Two pairs of pigeons on the cornice
watch humans below argue
over parking space,
nylon ropes,
and
flowers stolen from
neighbour's immortal tree


Two pairs of pigeons live on the cornice
since the dawn of the great
condoville.
Busy making intimate love
beak to beak, skin to skin.
Look down when they're free;
look down upon the architects
busy with nylon ropes.
