Pigeons at La Favorita Cafe

Faintly, a scene of effects unfolds, awakens the eyes

And is soon forgotten, as it dies: the pigeons prance

Around parked cars, by the Café Favorita’s tables

in Lima, Peru!

Then they take off in flight, some remain, and prance under cars,

Out of sight: as they move in and out (the café is boarding

the street in Miraflores).

They prance, prance: pecking at crumbs on the ground,

Slowly winged, unhastening (as zooming cars pass by).

I watch these pigeons melt into the scene

nobody really notices them, but me…!
