Just Another Metaphor
October 10, 2008
The fried egg resting
upon the plate was
like the sun living
among the clouds
in the sky.
The famished
unmindful boy creates
a sunset as the glowing
yellow yolk mixes
with the ruby red jam.
Within seconds the
opalescent sky is replaced
with the moody midnight
of black coffee.
Cream and sugar
sprinkle in as the dew
drops that cover
the sparkling
ground waiting for
the sun
to return.
