broke the egg
to whisk the yoke
only to see the yokes
are round their feeble necks
in the egg laid a gem like no other
more luminous than the rarest pearl
a star diamond with myriad faces of glitters
too precious for necks with yokes of common strife's
for tis' wise to cook for dinner the goose that lays golden eggs
for what is gold to the weighted yokes that's family heirloom for them
