I open a can
of chicken broth to complete
chicken supreme casserole
1 cup is all that's needed
and the can is half full
(or half empty)
dear chickie,
we put your life force in a can
and I casually pour
what is left
of your essence
down my sink
slightly sick at the thought
that I waste your gift.
grandma
would have broke your neck.
used your death water
used your neck, heart and liver
with a prayer.
