LotS: Augury


[Feather, puzzle piece, button, key, screw, paper, Sacred Heart medal]

Augury

After church this morning there's a dove
on the rooftip; it flies northeast, and the Romans
would know what that means.

I believe it all, I'm afraid: cast bones,
crossed stars, the litany of saints.
Split me open and read the future.
