The Oval (the last in my Shapes poems series)


The Oval

The egg is a perfect secret unkept

it breaks as you would into tears

and slides weeks of sun into a lathered pan

long and yet round, the serving plate is green

and came from the green house with a very fine lawn

the candy bursts in the mouth like balloons

all day I will dream of the next day coming up to me

on a bus where the streets are numbered in these

little squares you'd find on a calendar

I don't want to say anything anymore I want to pray

a silent song you can't unhear in the still of morning

where the eggs are fresh and peppered to begin.

I'm more rational today

 just a combination of many things, social media, no free speech, after all the time I've spent, Phil's diagnosis, my fight for justice inching on 30 years of fighting, and seeing no light at the end of tunnel, thinking I'm doing it all myself, and can't get a simple reply of encouragement. plus I do everything to access, and getting burnt out so often, they made fun of me about that too, when so many people are like me.  you think you got me figured out, think again! I've decided to stay on my blog, and keep Messenger, and the internet, but no social media posts anymore, but I haven't deleted any account.
