In the dream my front yard
was full of blue eggs and then
they had hatched and were empty.

Stepping down into the subconscious
cellar where I hastily drop my
mysterious thoughts, I turn the
flashlight on the dream interpretation
book. (It is alive.)

“The dream of blue eggs is not to be
taken lightly for soon you will be
hatching physical manifestations
of your joy in sharing what you have
earned through the school of hard
knocks.”

And so I climbed back up the stairs,
being grateful for a yard full of
fledged grace.
