Sunflowers Survive Poem
hide in plain sight
a cloak field
saves masked
disaster
chickens
young under wing
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
but
those that survive
jealous x girlfriends
peck the life
and you have
seeds for
next season
but
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.
