Pancakes...

I wrote this poem a few weeks ago while Robb was out buying more eggs.

Pancakes

I broke the only egg this morning,
our pancakes seeping from cracked shell
into kitchen rug.

The night before, you'd asked me
why I don't like to cook.
I hate feeling like a failure--
especially before I even begin.

Out

Eggs and relationships are both tricky and fragile. Hope you got some nice pancakes in the end. I love the spare simplicity of the poem.
