watching mourning doves mating 
i'm reminded of us; i flutter along 
behind you confused by what my heart says is lust 
although not for your body, just to be close. 
our crying says it is much more complex.  
Perpetual remembrance -- the chase and everything else 
driven on by what used to be love, 
by what is now birds 
winging away into the dusk.
