Plate 


On the plate before me

I am the world’s worst daughter

On the plate before me

Familial slaughter

On the plate before me

Lies the meatless mutter

Of dissidents and kings of discernible means

On the plate before me

No chicken just greens

On the plate before me

On the plate before me

 

On the plate before me

I am a late blooming human

On the plate before me

Quietly stewing

On the plate before me

Remains of another

A mindful blending of the cold hard truth

On the plate before me

The fibrous root

On the plate before me

On the plate before me

 

On the plate before me

I am as old as the planet

On the plate before me

A life’s been well done

On the plate before me

fragments of the road rage

Left begging until there is full sun

On the plate before me

The map in hand

On the plate before me

On the plate before me

 

Isn’t life grand

 

On the plate before me

On the plate before me
