Soil and Eggs

[preheat the oven]

Olive oil, onion, salt and pepper:

and then a female is born,
sucked into this world by a storm

-long hair like an umbrella pulled inside-out
-body like a rib -- plunged into the bloody earth

and Mother Nature carefully
gives her breasts and calls her beautiful,
like the center of an egg.

Yolk drips from the door-post
and this world is blessed with a place to call home.
