after much deliberation,
you’ve decided on eggs
for breakfast.
standing by the counter,
eviscerated yolks in the bowl
fascinate you.
I offer, you slowly
churn the lemon mush.
four hands
then tilt our concoction,
dash of pepper, full stop of salt,
into the pan.
cooking solar system
coagulates, cloudy creature
you eye up
as I flop it onto your plate,
fork ready set
to burrow in.

Explanation: A poem that was part of my MFA Creative Writing manuscript, in which I wrote poems about cities that have staged the Eurovision Song Contest, or taken the name of a song and written my own piece inspired by the title. I have received a mark for this body of work now, so am sharing the poems here.
