Sunday roast
Icy spring morning
Birthed on the frosty grass
Mother's warm tongue
Nourished by fresh milk
Tiny body growing strong
Teeth cropping the grass
Then fall approaches
As the lamb grows fat and large
One day the truck comes
Heart beat, panic, fear
Violence, blood, bone, darkness
The butcher carves flesh
Family gather
The meal is on the table
Slow-cooked Sunday roast
