A starving bird plucks feathers and flesh from her own breast to feed her brood
The hungry mouths never cease, blood on white in endless streams
People stop and remark on this cold wonder, the ruthlessness of nature. The beauty of motherhood, of sacrifice. They run away, feet clapping in haste to write sonnets, poems, songs of the marvels of nature and love.
No one stops to feed the fucking bird.
