Tattoo for Gina

Some see a dove

And think Pigeon

Others see pigeons

And think Dove

Some know that all pigeons are doves

Some angry as if pigeons were not doves

But the city lover knows

And I try to reconstruct

The tattoo on one of your many branches

The more arms the more power

I think of you, O pale tattoo

All pigeons, all doves

You friendly cliff-dwellers
