subtext

An egg yolk’s aesthetics reside

in the mouth; the moment

the membrane keeping it whole

pops, and the gold ooze

coats the tongue’s desire

in a hen’s genetic matter.

Eating is destruction,

ecstatic and savory:

Dionysius, Christ, Osiris –

flesh tattered, tasted, scattered;

 renewed within a life,

 a constant drive to be

wholly a part of the world

dancing in the golden light.
