Split Eggs
A slice of family and pizza 🍕

Fighting the wind to find the eggs,
the world and animals, for admiration, beg.
“This Easter is a little different,” she said.
On memories of her, I am surely fed.
Hide the pieces of my heart in the trees,
on Grandma’s knees,
under the steps,
in the Spanish moss,
tuck me away in a basket,
or bury me deep in the ground,
where no one will hear the sound,
of my broken-heart-beat.
I’ll give you all the grace in the ocean,
but I know you don’t see me anymore.
You see the taller men who play the drums,
while I sulk in a church corner like an old bread crumb.
