Robin by Naila Moreira

The egg. Sweet castle
for a self. Frail shell
enclosing a world.

The world. Frail shell
of air, this thin pillow
troubled by birds:

your heritage, beak breaking
first one shell
and then another, setting free

what will be wings, stubs
still to form
strength, muscle, feather, flight.

Embryo, your
socket-eye encloses
future vision, aglow now only

with diffuse light,
this calcified
eyelid surrounding

your building form
a guard against
all that will strike, buffet

sight and wing
when you crack the frame
between earth and sky,

this wet unbuilt
maternal dark
to the harsh unbounded.
