A bird in the bush... is best left in the bush

Pooper’s gone and I miss her already. I decided she was a she without googling pics of pigeon anatomy.

She had fallen off the window ledge where her mother had built her nest, into the bushes below, either because of excessive fidgeting or because she was attacked by a predator. And my daughter happened to be among the witnesses to this tragic fall.
My daughter, one of two daughters, to whom I had refused ownership of dogs, cats, mice, squirrels – sentient creatures of any size and shape. Not even plants, for that matter.

Tomorrow - the promised land

“Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you tomorrow, ’cos you’re always a day away”. Is what the super-cute child star Annie sang, in her heart-melting voice, sitting at that window-sill of long ago.

Tomorrow, the day of gilded edges that will rise over me like a beautiful phoenix, giving new life to all my dreams and hopes. Tomorrow, dearly loved by Today; whom Today will protect and keep perfect.
I love you too, Tomorrow.
