Scrambled Egg Sometimes I cry out when all the king’s men walk by, though no one cares to listen to a soul half-cracked, boiled spoiled by the cruel sun. Alas, another sunset goes by to black the sky with nameless stars, still, I make a wish for a prince who ends up horseless and refuses to ask for directions - a frog beneath impending kiss. Here I sit, loveless, wallbound, hope in wait, tear in hand, falling to split in two. Jagged pieces of me cut to the bone, slice me alone to ho-hum the hours, splattered of brick flesh walls that protect and curse the yoke-stained ground of broken breath. How I long to be served on a plate with heart still in beat, dined and wined with worth, held in tact, caressed, painted in gold with lips that understand my flavour in savour of a happy ending. Sad, how fate arrives too late with footprints across this shell of skin. I am dead parts, scrambled egg, devoured dreams for all the king’s men, unwilling to put my heart together again.

The fairytale remains to be heard, and seen. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |
