Hope Is the Thing with Feathers, and She Looks Like a Creature Who's Been Through It
Hope is the thing with feathers, and she
looks like a creature
standing thigh-deep in a pile of her own ash and soot,
with watery eyes and she’s choking a little
on the tendrils of smoke still curling up from the black, charred evidence
of the past nine months —
compiled at her sore and clawed, tired and somewhat
unevenly sized feet.
