Going For Broke

By the dawn’s early light, breaking news can break your heart but the heart grows by breaking into chamber music to mend this fractured world.

Breakfast is buttered by a solar spread. Humpty-Dumpty broke into a yellow scramble, then reassembled as omelet, an amulet for the deviled eggs in the Oval.

Today has never happened before with this morning’s minion of ten blueberries multiplied in the bowl while half a toasted bagel breaks into an urgent song to bless the mourning dove on the patio nested in my shoe. A hummingbird flaps a psalm, unheard, sawing  the contaminated air with random grace as light through yonder shadows breaks.

Strange how bro and ken spell split, not as pea soup or bananas  but split as in fracked. Today we break anew going for broke, driven by sun and wind. 

May the divide in the big tent of my party bend but not break;  brokered, hemispheres joined, brothers as kindred spirits in a peaceable kingdom against the agreed-upon foe.
