As hands of dawn open the rest cage
Do consider this queer adage
That hands won’t feed if there be no work
And like the wisest version of Ananse
Build us into a harvesting web
II
We are hens
In worldly dens
We are cocks
Between some rocks
We are comfortable tourists
Who are blessed with blindfolds
So do build us into a comfort web
III
As a mother feeds her young
Let every rock
Bring us stock
Let every gravel
Help us more unravel
Let every deed of a dove
Bring us more love
As we roam like fowls
Into the coop of another darkness

The new day will arrive one day, but only after the blindfolds are removed. Beautifully written!
