​Laughing Doves
 
set free from a steel cage
set free from the settlement
flying over the flatlands
feeding, breeding, settling
by a shrinking
waterhole.
 
swinging back
after the sun
has set.
 
settling,
settling
by a steel
dog bowl.

pearl of polystyrene
 
between two bricks
perfect as the day
It was produced:
white, round
but soft enough
to curl
                  into my
dog’s mouth.
Pearl of polystyrene

filling the freeway 
 
workers laying 
a new ribbon 
of road
 
filling the freeway 
rain drifting
a dozen 
different ways
 
filling the freeway 
a flood 
sending everything 
back to mud
