The Doves

The Doves

by: Shaffi A. Karimah

They are waiting for the doves

The doves, the preventers of blood droplets

The blood droplets that belong to people who love singing

Singing to the blue sky as though it was the most beautiful painting

The most beautiful painting they have ever seen in the old days

In the old days, before the sky was full of smog

The smog of anger from someone who is claiming to be the ruler

They are waiting for the doves

The doves, the carriers of birds

The birds chirp and perch on the opened window

An opened window with no cracks

The cracks that now fill the house

A house, which used to be a home

A home for people who now miss doves

They are waiting for doves

The doves, the main requirement of establishment of The Wall Street

The Wall Street that brings the bliss

The bliss that is now just a story

The story that they never imagined in the past

In the past, before they are in friendship with tears

The tears that are getting louder because the doves haven’t come yet
