I feel like an egg
        —Albert Einstein

feeling its way toward light

a mole
        inventing earth

one little crab
so far
        from the sea

struggling

up a rock mossy shore

I have to let go
        of what I hold on to

        what holds me

it can't be defined

        until it's gone
