01

Where pigeons dance their chaotic ballet, my friends do not want to flock with me.

02

They know nothing of the aerial gaze or my humans’ disdain. In their flight there is no lament, no praise, only hunger.

04

Is longing just another instinct, something that never leaves?

05

Hank. Tom.

06

Do you see me?
