The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."
As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Squawk

In the land of the plucked
the bird with one feather is king
strange company they make
flocking together in freezers.

Pink and goosebumped array
in chilled and frozen display
they gather for migration
unto the dinner table.



Line count: 8
Free verse (yeah, I know lines 5 and 6 rhyme)
