The Deck Doesn’t Look Good

by Jonathan Hayes


When I’m home
the pigeons



try to fly
into my

bedroom

bringing their omen of death,

and when I come home
after work

i find their feathers on the windowsill.

The "end" is a coloring book
slowly being filled in



by wings
flapping

outta control.
