Peacock in Repose



I keep sitting here,
waiting.
There is nothing else to do.
Does it look to you
like I am resting?
I didn’t choose these wings or these feathers.
I was bewitched into walking on my hands
long ago.
I have no cravings.
I can not stomach human food.
All I ever think of these days
are those apples.
Red as sin.
