Carnage on my deck;
Feathers flew in my absence,
Leaving me dove-less.
I searched for strategies, now
Reflectors hang from my trees.

Having attack of
Sciatica since weekend–
Well, of all the nerve!

We’ll stop to send our
thoughts, then return to the safe
bustle of our lives.

Attack of the Histamines

Last night, eyes itched, then
Achoo! achoo! achoo! Now—
I’m sluggish on drugs.
