Number 3007

Exhausted yet exhilarated

Drained but excited

Death lurks around every corner

But so too does love

Doves fought and fell to the ground

Right in front of me

I stared down at them in awe

Why did two birds just fall out of the sky?

Landing at my feet

The victor of their skirmish

Flew away, to find the love

It fought for

The Other dove gasped its last

Breath

I shook my head as if in a dream

As I kept walking to my car

From the hospital doors
