Sand Blown Poet Free verse

A Ground-Nest Tea

several mourning doves
frequented the feeders
for small seeds

gently they ruffled feathers
around neck and head
as they slowly fed

full after twenty minutes
they went to ground
to clean each other

each took turns picking
seeds from the others
upper body feathers

and when a beak be seed full
the seed-picker then fed
them back to the other

this custom being
times natural
on-nest-tea
