An observation

Uninvited, I watched a couple of pigeons at play.

He circled triumphant around his hapless female prey, then

unabashed, casually walked away.

She crouched shell shocked, her head jammed up against the

the concrete wall of the bus depot; her dishevelled tail fanned out.

Some time later she moved away.

No questions asked, no guilt perceived, no defence needed...
