the pigeon in the road

today in the middle of the road i saw a decapitated pigeon. it was lying on its back, clawed feet slack, downy feathers viridescent in the way pigeons' feathers sort of shimmer like northern lights.

it was startling.

i wondered where its head went.

and these days i feel the same as the pigeon in the road. not that i feel dead -- just that i wonder where my head is, too.
