Catch that Pigeon

[just mercedes]

Hi Keith - I like your imagery, but I'm not altogether sure of what the pigeon represents - the fligh of imagination? I like the contradiction I feel in 'the freedom of tired flight' and the image of someone sitting closed off from the world, relying on messages to get a sense of it. Not sure of the line 'I pick up my phone and I leave them', and can't understand why the narrator, who seems to connect with the world only through the pigeon, would hope he wouldn't come back.
