The Rock Hound

Anchor your human

In the extraction of a gem.

Make a close reading

of an unopened geode.

Try to read a book by its cover—

whack it on the fault line.

Eggs

I haven’t actually

broke an egg on

accident very often.

Normally,

I break them 

intentionally

for a nice omelet,

a French toast,

a cake batter,

batter up.
