A mourning dove perches on razor wire -

to a coil of razor-wire

Intricate, spiral-coiled
weave of sharp edges
perched on your fence-nest,
a complexly-wound,
distrusting silhouette
against an unaware sky:
The lone, patient antagonist
dividing the openness -
If I didn't approach you,
you'd have no purpose...
