A Poem by Harmony Hodges


Hallelujah

Inside egg walls
heartbeat.

Orchestral chorus
an amniotic vessel.

Vibrating crescendos
singing without breath
pecking without beak.

Audience tearing
mama hen waiting
mice return to holes.

Fleas jump off coop
thunderous pecking.
circumspection.

A drainage of fluid
a race through the stanza
chips of eggshell
the ceiling shatters.

Mama stands up,
audience gasps
baby has broken
soloist has spoken.

The end
of the beginning
of a beginning.
