Egg Poem by Mark R Slaughter

Egg



Dead, it feeds me -
You
Them
All -
Its protein

Alive, the new growth
Will be a phenotype -
Mirror of its genes

Feathered construct
To channel more
Or less
Of what is essentially
The same

Shell protects
Where it can
Until it gives,
Concaved or
Convexed
To feed it or us
