Peacocks!

A peacock has many feathers.

Each one holds a secret,

A confession,

A prayer,

A hope.

If this peacock gets lost

And is found by the wrong folk,

He will be plucked of his secrets, confessoins, prayers, hopes.

Standing bare for all to see-

Where this bird started out

And how he grew to be

Complex,

Twisted, yet so

Beautiful.
