The Hen has a right to Worry<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your fingers, the same length as mine, cracked the egg on the counter.
\nThe shell was in fragments, and
\nIt was
\nyet another reminder of the delicate things
\nLike everything that breaks.
\nWhen you spoke and said:
\n\u2018I Love you\u2019
\nBefore. Now. Soon.
\nI smiled and said: \u2018Thank you\u2019. Then noticed the egg.
\nHow easily the shell cracks, how simple it was for you
\nTo tear apart its armor and discard it
\nLeaving just an embryo, a seed that never grew
\nAnd, once ingested, will help us grow.
\nAnd what helps us grow will discard those things like thin calcium membranes
\nUsed to keep us protected from
\nPredators like us.
\nFor now, I think, the prey is an unborn chick
\nSoon, I think, the prey will be\u2026
\nBut thats too far away
\nWhen we should be thinking about:
\nFinishing breakfast, making a train, and packing.
\nBecause movement feels good.
\nAnd I think about love,
\nWatching you devour that little reward you unlocked for nourishment
\nSo I don\u2019t say things as well as I\u2019d like
\nAnd I never act exactly the way I want
\nI always think: I could listen better, I could touch you, in that soft tender way, just a little more.
\nBut instead I\u2019m consumed by the sight of you preying on that little chick.
\nI shudder a little and the words that I want are locked way, just like the actions I wish to show,
\nIn a thin calcium membrane.
\nAnd you walk towards me to kiss my forehead and grab my hand.
\nAnd I follow, throwing away the shelled remains of your breakfast on the way outside.<\/p>\n
