He’d been taught that cracking an egg and finding a double yolk was a good omen. Today he discovered it isn’t always true. He opened one this morning, before anyone else was awake; before they found him in the kitchen; before they called the ambulance; before it drove away, slowly.
Ron. Lavalette lives on Vermont’s Canadian border. His poetry, flash fiction, and creative nonfiction has been very widely published in both print and pixel forms. His first chapbook, Fallen Away (Finishing Line Press), is now available at all standard outlets. A reasonable sample of his published works can be found at EGGS OVER TOKYO.
Enjoyed this Ron. 👏👏
TY, TS!
Thank you, Tim Sevenhuysen, for honoring my work. Blogbrag; https://rlavalette.wordpress.com/2021/06/04/mythbusted/
Well done, Ron. Moving story. The last word got to me.
Nicely done, Ron.
I just hope this poem sleeps in fictitious Never-Never land. Wonderful piece, however. So Ron. ! More please.
