rooster
tender square in every greeting card, nonna’s drawings
shaded as stunning as their plumage.

chasing chickens as a girl in molinara,
preparing dinner with her mamma.

grace looks upon the birthday brooch
in the box that’s just for her and crows.

unhinged lots of urban chicken farmers around here; i think for the most part they don't have roosters cause of the noise. but occasionally when my sliding door is open in the morning i can here the clucking of the nearby hens 210903

epitome of incomprehensibility There's one here too! My cousin and his girlfriend keep chickens. There's one rooster currently. He's called Toby.

But the one with the 6 AM wake up call (alas, he doesn't have the sense to sleep in) lives across the street. His name is Shrek.
