City Life and a Bird in Flight

Strolling in Istanbul with my family, we came across a domestic stage. On a 3rd floor balcony, in a quiet cove, my eye first noticed the floating tire wheels, one on each side, each with its round shadows marking the wall. And, then, one small orange dog peeked out through the wrought iron post, radar up, and far to the side, the dog’s sister, peered in the same direction, her body also on high alert. It wasn’t until returning home that I saw the pigeon in flight.
