The Dove & the Human

Wakey wakey, it's the mourning dove.
My seductive song snatched you from slumber
I know you hear me - your shadow agrees

I take a step, you splash your face
You take a step, I flutter to a sturdier branch
Sometimes I’m taken by surprise and my little body jiggles with the branch
As it adjusts to my weight.
I look over at you and chirp with glee
Its tit for tat
Chess, not checkers

Moving like coordinated traffic - as a unit
Below the dove’s talons
It begins when I sing your shower songs
You join in unison with much power
However 
Our syncopated two-step is actually ten steps
In our case, it takes ten to tango
Window, wall, wires all stand between us
What a schlep!
Like yin and yang, our purpose is to balance
One would not subsist without the existence of the other
