A Pea Hen’s Lament

 








A Pea Hen’s Lament


Does it look to you like I am happy?

I didn’t choose these feathers or these wings.

Bewitched into this form in my dream one night,

I have no appetite for human food or the joy it brings.

All I really care for are those apples.

Up in the tree I hide and eat those apples.
