Egg
Egg so fragile
new creation
new heart beating
in the henhouse
bird that might have been
Egg so fragile
nature’s wonder
beneath its mother
warm and cozy
bird that might have been
Egg so fragile
fresh and faultless
I salute you
I salute you
bird that might have been
Egg so fragile
my creation
humbly proffered
in my kitchen
bird that might have been
Egg so fragile
crack it open
fry with bacon
over easy
bird that might have been
Egg so fragile
cracked and emptied
on the compost
void of promise
bird that might have been
