Poems
Nov 2018
Mother
A plastic bottle
Sits discarded at
The foot of a
Recycling bin.
A city bird,
Mistaking it for
Some kind of
Strange fruit, or
Perhaps a meal
Fit for a king
Descends, grasps it
With pincer'd claws,
Then carries it to
Her nest, and sits
For five minutes,
Watching, confused,
As her hatchlings
Gnaw at the label.
In bright red letters:
'Taste The Feeling.'
A poem about responsibility.
#23 in the Distant Dystopia anthology.
