ON A FRYING PAN
On a frying pan
It was fried, oily pieces were floating around
Dissolving into drops of steam
Penetrating people’s nostrils
And leaving a smell on the gums
On the tips of white teeth
sharp as a leopard
Bow, bow, bow
Burns my eyes…
tell the drops what’s in the sky
Tell the drops what’s in the sky
Just a black bird
Big like a whale
Flapping its wings and wanting to stop
But the earth is too far away
To shelter a wanderer,
And what this bird throws down
This is the only pink egg that looks like a small heart.
Crashed on the rocks…
