on perspective

i spent last evening looking for eggs
in nooks and crannies
garden and porch
irritated that these girls
won't lay in their boxes
incensed,
i disturbed their sleep at 5:00
this morning
to photograph them on their roosts
so i could show you
these unruly hens....
but perspective visited at 1:36
when i admired a student's necklace
i like your necklace
she fingered it, looked down
and whispered
it has my sister's remains in it
and the hen's eggs
don't matter
at
all
