And now, another poem by Denise Potter
© 1996
A Light Omlette
Pure white, the cat crouches
in a trapezoid of light,
golden eyes locked
on the crystal egg
hanging by a thread,
a prism slowly spinning,
scattering sunbeams
to odd corners of the room
hatching
shards of radiance
more beautiful when broken:
infant rainbows
laughing and dancing
just beyond her ken.
