Extravagant Promise
If the breakup means
I must move down one more bed
Then I hope winter
Will stay forever.
I watch the sun, eyes wary,
Watch you too, looking
For signs that you've moved
Toward the closet, satchel
And your hiking shoes,
Ready to pray, plead
My case, promise you I will
Even clean the cat.

The chicken crossed the road. That's poultry in motion.
