《dreamclot ~ poetry》a lone a lost

you see—
after a night of road-swallowing
jackfruit-tree-felling rain
you see— the damp
in which a lone little chicken waits
wobbly-legged faint-breathed dim-eyed
the size of your fist
(your heart is the size of your fist)
far from its mother from siblings
cooing & flapping its wings like its mother
cooing & cleaning its beak like its mother
imitating mother won't make you mother-big
young chick
you will die
it will rain again & again
we all know you will die
but we won't kill you
we all know you're alive
because nothing has killed you yet
