I crack your protective shell against the low side of my green plate
And watch you slide your way into the bubbling, bouncing, frothing
Vinegar and salt infused water
For three minutes you heat yourself from the cool temperature of my refrigerator
Dowsing yourself in the warm bath of my frying pan.
A dash of salt
A pinch of pepper
Add flavor to your yellow yolk
As you slowly work your way to mouth watering perfection
My brioche toast awaits your friendship on my plate
As the timer announces your completion
A slide
A shimmer
And you companion my toast with such delight
A dash of salt
A pinch of pepper
An incision of knife and fork
As your yellow goodness oozes onto my toast
Then completes its journey and friendship with my mouth
Cheers to you oh magnificent poached egg!
Brilliant! I see these loads of odes as a masters class in presence over the coming month! Write on, my friend!
