THE EGG OF DEATH

I have spent
my life
decorating
the egg
of death

and
as I step back
to admire
my artistry
I bump into
the curved shell
that already
contains me
and the rigid
graffiti
of my stiff hands

hardboiled...but with time even rocks soften...enjoyed this set of images!

Like, Dark, I like the images and can't resist a poem called "The Egg of Death".

*applause* so glad to be reading your epic poetry again...you always pack such a powerful punch in fewer words....poignantly expressed. love the grafitti metaphor.Oh how I relate to this~

"Poetry is not an opinion expressed. It
is a song that rises from a bleeding
wound...or a smiling mouth"
