THE EGG OR THE HEN

This is Temporary: 6 of 8

From the 2024 Collection "Sixteen Odes From a Toad's Repose"

Which came first, the egg or the hen?
 
An old friend visits
on the anniversary
of his death—
      He finds a voice
      through instrument
      of requisite integrity.
 
I recognize his laughter,
      his playfulness.
 
He is a genie now.
 
He once was John the Baptist.
 
His is a Halo no blade can sever.
 
His is a Halo no blade can sever.

From the 2024 Collection "Sixteen Odes From a Toad's Repose" - Sixteen poems written in a five day period after two years hiatus.
