dead dove

You live for moments
For a light to shine on your face
It still remains dim

“dead dove” is a spare, haunting three-line poem that lets its emotional weight sit in the contrast between longing for illumination and the persistent dimness that follows. Its compact, haiku-like form and understated language create a quiet atmosphere of uncertainty, memory, and self-reflection.
