they be hungry?
can they actually be that hungry,
these
fat grey
pigeons ringed
and layered
in thick
oiled feathers.
skilled
at pecking the smallest
of thrown
bagel
to the ground.
they remind me of
my childhood,
all bones
and sinew,
standing on the kitchen
counter
searching the cupboard
for a stale
cookie, with nothing
found.
