Eggy Earth

An egg rotating,

In an eager hand

Over boiling water

Spinning above it’s fate

Like the earth on it’s axis

Yolk falling belly side down

Fingers adjusting sweetly

Round and round

Dizzy with anticipation

Then, bounce

A Preparatory bounce

The heat daring to bite

Pan edge, daring to split

And then, crack

Whites dripping down the edges

Into the boil

Flesh everywhere
