A Sunday piece. Sundays are always horrible for me.


Unbroken

i walk on eggshells
just to feel
the ivory crack beneath
and splatter yolks
like children's eyes
fragile in their homes

i walk on eggshells
just to feel
my own veins crack beneath
and fall apart
like splintered wood
nestled in my skin

i bring the egg
just to break
the boundaries of myself
and filter through
like embryos
ripping from the womb

i bring the egg unbroken.
