Today God Broke An Egg
today God broke an egg acoss the sky
all robust golden yolk spilling out at the edges
watercolors bleeding out across the countertop sky.
he let the eggshells fall onto ground -
a highway sign
a winding road.
he dropped the sugar
and watched it billow like a milky fog.
sprinkles of chocolate chips fell through his fingers
as He walked across the kitchen floor,
and then all the ants began to crawl over
the cocoa lanes.
by afternoon He had taken the broom
and whisked the cornflower sky clean
brushed the sugar into the trash can.
i am looking at the sky today,
robin blue granite without a speck,
and thinking bout all the eggs
I didn't notice spill across the sky.
