Chickens

Hearing chirping, broaking, stroking earth scented,
burnt-orange,
silk feathers.

Watching,
leaf rustling,
soil scratchers.

Feeding explorative,
filthy-footed
meal worm-munchers.

squawking,
branch crackers.

Awaiting,
expecting, anticipating,
patiently ...willingly...

Unconditionally producing,
speckled-brown,
hand-warmers.
