I am that hen with a chick
He is that cock with a chick
I am like the petite hen burdened by beasts of this world
He is like a gigantic cock who has bridged so much to be here
We both dribble with words
At a snap of the finger “bam”
There is a creation
We are both that swift

A perfect story of coupling?
Hell no!
Because the cock took its time to meet the sun
While I, the rushing hen, played with the moon
Seeing more than twenty moons before he ever saw one
Crowns don’t show how many one has seen
But my conscience pricks like a pin
And the pin pins like a pesting pain
So yes, I turn my back
And yes, he too relaxes having tried
This stage of age is a page in cage
And we are on separate pages

A very intriguing melange of animal symbolism there, Cecilia, from the title on down. Loved it!
