a dream of crows and pigeons surrounding me
in the balcony, right in my old home
a particular crow refused to leave
even how hard i stomped my feet on the cold floor
and swiped my hands furiously
it refused to leave
crows, they represent disappointment in everything,
grief and misfortune.
worst, i grabbed the bird in my hand
and wringed his neck until it broke
his head terribly detached from its neck & body
only to find in it was the soul of someone
someone i endeared so much in the past
then the pigeons took graceful flight
was it their way of saying farewell to the crow
pigeons, my freedom from understanding?
news from the absent?
my grief, my freedom
