Tarred and Feathered

 

remember
her like
the font
that was leaking
the water
that held
the first flight

 

she is all of the egg
the shell
the white
the yolk

​

she is all of the nest
the branch
the tree
the shelter

​

there on
the ground
she writhes
like a sea serpent

​

tarred and feathered

​

she is all of the pain
of wave
of rock
of sky
