Pork double- braised with wicker stick
June 6, 2022
Slender wicker stick with the feather of
a rooster attached tightly,
Held in hands,
It ran through a youthful mind,
Every feathered duster in the family,
Was once an animal,
Crowing echoed to pairs of tender ears,
Once dead but sang.

ahh, thank you for the clarification, u just taught me something new!
@ Hey, thank you for the encouragement! And side notes; in my home country, a feather duster is obtained from either a hen or rooster and attaches to a wicker stick. Its a common item in many Cantonese families, and are often used to discipline disobedient kids… Pork double braised with wicker stick is like a slang for that!
