THE CRACK

We were born in the crack of an egg fragile and empty with a whip of thunder and tongues of fire tasting the earth. We were born with a gram of cry and several stretches, wrapped in cloth like caterpillars and waiting for our wings... We keep our shells as a reminder of how far we have come and how fragile our cradle is. We were born in a crack and a crack, we shall return. They welcome us in cloth and cloth we are bidden farewell. Just one of us shall get their wings.
