An egg; borned to a petri dish.
Emulsified by braided coils cemented, bricked with expectancy.
Clamped by the crown
blood-curdling cries for the Exit
screaming as the sack splits
breathing out cries for the curse of change.
Sprinkling the best parts into the beaker
begging for the rotten lemon’s zest; praying
it will not sour.
Sowing the seeds but
the soil has been dried up for so
long now
shovel snapping then shattering on first try.
How can you build upon such
a lifeless base?
Waiting for Worth
rewards forged and ready but
collecting dust as the ground does not grow.
The reap will not sow. What is missing
cannot be found
because somebody forgot to check the clauses.
an ingredient has been absent all along.
and so What is looking
to be found
simply never will
be. lost
to the gravel for good!
