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.

closed my bank debit card

 will go into the bank for cash, and I just ordered checks, the ones with carbon paper underneath each  and I'm not getting a pre-paid card for stores.  just cash. Won't be buying Anything online.  wanted to do more in person anyway. $39.55 and $39.99 fraudulent charges showing up on online banking I'll have to absorb these. I think I'm safe.

I'm just hearing how great Women's Health Services are in Clinton, Iowa.

 Did not do proper care for me while pregnant, didn't find out I was carrying two babies til a doctor came from Iowa City, two weeks before delivery. Went back recently to get a pap, and the doctor there couldn't get it, took up to 4 speculums. I told them everything, I'm going thru menopause, no offer of estrogen, or any kind of pill, told her I'm having pain from fibroid cysts in my uterus.  Nothing, ignored. This place should be shut down!!
