Sunflowers Survive Poem


Sunflowers Survive Poem

hide in plain sight 
a cloak field
saves masked 
disaster
chickens
young under wing
in dumb
places on doorsteps
where evil enters
coming / going
straight feng shui 
fuck roosters don't
crow in tongues
nor I
hens ate 
ten thousand 
 sunflower seeds 
planted in 
rows but in 
the end 
blooms came 
and spent
cluck and poke
the broody ones
are kind
but
those that survive
jealous x girlfriends 
peck the life
and you have
seeds for 
next season
 but
sweet peas -
birds don't
 eat
the young
we're not 
crazy people
that toss
shoes for
scorpions we
hide them in 
pairs neat in
plain sight
but step
with care.
