blood on her hands
at dusk Skaterina saw a bird hit the window, fall down, then come at the glass again
she discovers the cat called Jinx was stalking one of the young pigeons
a pair of pigeons settled on the property a few years ago, nested, hatched eggs, and raised their young
they are fixtures here now
Skaterina picked up the bird / it had fallen on the utility table next to the front door
it was the most beautiful dove gray !
seemed okay
what to do ?
put it in a box, a basket, .......
in the cat kennel that reeked of cat ?
no way
the friend who rents the Little House tells Skaterina to just let it go
open your hand and let it fly away
she does so
then sees the blood in her palm and on her fingers
a deep rich ruby red blood
oh my
