Somebody up there loves me

***

Yesterday

a beautiful white dove

flew into my

open window.

***

On it’s leg was

a note that read,

I love you

Signed,

the roofing man

chapter II

Aggrieved,

I went outside &

confronted him.

***

He was still on

my roof &

 about to release

another dove.

***

Said the roofing man,

I meant only as a friend!

---

chapter III

That next afternoon

another white dove

came to my window.

***

Similar to the first,

except this dove

was

covered in soot,

& coughed several times

into its wing

***

Said the note,

What are your interests?

Signed,

the chimney sweep man
