WALKING ON EGGSHELLS

sick of
     walking on eggshells
sick of
     watching my words
     fearing to stir
           your anger

you don't hit
    you are righteous
        you are right
you know you have every right
         to be angry

I am wrong
I have again done
    that cardinal sin
         said something

sick of
sick of
    walking on eggshells

time for
    talking of eggshells

eggshells belong on eggs

eggshells hold baby chicks

 

and I'm sick
    of walking on eggshells

 

the instructions are clear
    no breaking the eggshells
    no hurting the eggs
    no saying anything

 

I'm not a hen
    I don't lay eggs
but I walk on eggshells
    thousands of eggshells
        eggshells whole
        eggshells cracked
        eggshells leaking

and it's all my fault

if an eggshell is cracked

if an eggshell is hurt

if that poor baby chick
    is injured
    it needs protection

 

but for me
I'm walking on eggshells

crickety crack

walking on eggshells

step on a crack, break your mother's back

break something, break everything

everything is glass

everything is fragile

nothing build to last

nothing built sturdy

nothing built strong

except knowing

walking on eggshells

    is no fun, it's wrong

wrong for me

    misery

and it's a mystery

    just how to avoid cracking the eggshells

I can't breathe, can't move free

 

those eggshells need warming under some mother hen

those eggshells should be broken by chicks now and then

or the eggshells should become eggs, for eggs and toast

 

but walking on eggshells, that is the most

rotten way for eggshells to go

from being eggs to being just plain rotten

 

the most rotten way for eggs to go

from eggs to just plain grotty sticky messy masses

        of egg innards mixed with eggshells

 

sick of walking on eggshells

sick of walking on eggshells

 

want my eggs for breakfast, in cake, or turning to chicks

no walking on eggshells, that makes me sick

 

I know it's my fault
whatever I say is wrong

but I don't belong
in an eggshell world
bull in china shop
that's also wrong
not the bull, not the china shop
but they don't belong, bull in a china shop

eggshells - others may float, never touch the eggshells

 

I do and I go

sick of walking on eggshells

I'm not a bull

but a china shop is no fun home for me

I want freedom to move and to breathe

A dozen years ago,
I began to wake up
with word pieces -
words music, spoken word, songs -
in my head.
Escape velocity.
Echo of the echo.
Tank almost empty.
Can't cross the gap.
Welcome into my world.

WALKING ON EGGSHELLS

life ends with dying
life goes on with grieving
