Saturday Morning Dove

Saturday Morning Dove


A gray dove on the edge
  Of our birdbath
Light rain ringing ripples
  In still water

I’d seen electroencephalograms do that,
  Blink,
Make wave static from the radio mind

She chants a lowing coo upon the day
The rain seems not to chase her away

  I made a pot of coffee
  I put in a piece of toast

When I looked back the dove had flown
Still ripples winked upon her throne

These thoughts record time happening,
Between the notes the white dove sings
