Charred Remnants, the 2008 Down in the Dirt collection book
the cycle


It all came to her like this:
she remembered when she was a child
coloring eggs

for Easter, wire spoons
dipping into the cup; colors of spring
and happiness

left to dry on a newspaper.
And she would always steal some away
to eat

before Sunday. And she
would hide the pastel shell in the trash,
the evidence,

and she’d hide the yolk,
too. She only liked the white of it. And
then she

remembers the onion skins,
boiling eggs wrapped in layers of skin
dyed them

beautiful shades of brown,
like the amber beads in mother’s jewelry
chest, the

variations of color,
trapped by nature, captured by ourselves.


And she remembers
as a child listening to the McKinleys, an
older pair

with stories of
Panama, Mexico. They had so many foreign
stories to tell:

once they gave her an
egg for Christmas, a carnival egg, with the
inside blown

out, filled with confetti,
covered in colorful crepe paper. She
made her own,

relished in cracking
them over people’s heads. But she saved
theirs.

And now she stands
in the kitchen, scrambling them for
morning meal,

yellow and white,
the colors in the nursery for the child
still inside

of her. She can feel
the kicking now. And she wants to know
if she can give

the color, the stories,
bring the cycle of life around for her little
one.


And she puts breakfast once again
on the plate.
