yolk
raze when you
without meaning to
add a splash
of orange juice
to the last wisps of milk
at the bottom of a bowl,
the alchemy of those
unlikely allies
is identical to
the nebulous body
of a beaten egg yolk.

an unformed soul in stasis,
so unlike our own.

add this to the list
of things i learned today.

kerry louie knows the sound of an eggshell cracking, oil sizzling in a pan. i prefer my eggs somewhere between over-medium and -hard, so the yolk is bright and shiny and the tenuous solid of jello, but when he's nearby i make them over-medium. he sits and waits, staring, while i eat. i make sure not to sop up every bit of yellow with my toast so he can lick it off the plate. it's the only "people food" he's allowed to have. 240227
