They rose out of dead men,
out of their mouths,
gently, white doves,
to branches where they fidgeted
at first a little,-
free, uncertainly.
It was something,
white doves for the souls of men,
instead of the roving idiots
of the morning, cuckoos,
or jackdaws cackling, or identical
factory chicken chelping, or worse,
White doves
even the souls of the worst.
Did you enjoy the the artible “After All, White Doves” from Geoffrey Grigson on OZOFE.COM? Do you know anyone who could enjoy it as much as you do? If so, don't hesitate to share this post to them and your other beloved ones.
