Definitions will spawn in a new window (Wordnet):

Glick's Chickens
starr

Tiny hands reached up
 1
inside the anal cavities
 2
of gutted featherless corpses
 3
fishing for eggs;
 4
 
made 'em talk like puppets
 5
by maneuvering speechless beaks
 6
throwing my voice;
 7
 
pimply bodies slain, lain
 8
across the butcher's
 9
bleeding counter;
 10
 
curious little fingers
 11
lifted sleeping eyelids
 12
shook flimsy necks
 13
flicked wiggly wattles
 14
and floppy combs;
 15
 
I made wishes,
 16
broke bones.
