Turtle Dove

A turtle dove
I landed on your chest
Widened the jagged crack 
Your Heart chambers shivered
Quiet silver ripples in a
Tender Garden of Eden 

Watching me, your son
Clapped his hands in orange glee
I sought some breadcrumbs 
Which I found upon your stable sea
I was vanquished by the I
Within your I
