Broken Eggs
Little girl is
focused on not disturbing
the eggshells
on the floor or
straying outside the lines
slippery yolks scramble
her balance
one day a smothering
then a smattering
then a smothering again
Yet she watches a dawn
breaking new magic every day
sees a clean chance every day
for eggs that are fresh
and whole
