    CHICKEN LITTLE IN LOVE

    I’m through! I’m through!
    she says and resays.
    The years pass.
    Her feathers gray.
    Her eggs
    lay themselves
    less frequently.
    The sky falls.

    CHICKEN LITTLE IN LOVE

    I’m through! I’m through!
    she says and resays.
    The years pass.
    Her feathers gray.
    Her eggs
    lay themselves
    less frequently.
    The sky falls.
