Poetry:
Tameca L
Coleman
egg
the desert demands
a new
view
when waiting is a death
pop out the eye
turn the retina
inside out
turn out lungs
make the heart
speak
reverse
the gut soften
bone let
follow
flesh innards wrapped blood and bone paste
a shell
in bright sun the exterior
blinds
peck away the interior
the protective eye has become
a waiting that is a life
