The egg is whole.
But it is empty from the inside.
The shell seems so hard -
almost unbreakable.
Would you hear a sound
if you knocked on it?
Do you want to see what's inside
if you broke it?
Would you push it over the edge
or do you fear yellow?
Maybe you should just touch it -
feel how soft and cold the shell is.
Or do you want to hold it
in your palm
and feel its weight.
And its burden.
So fragile.
It is so fragile.
it needs your protection.
So fragile.
It is your burden now.
