The Strange Egg by Kirstie Millar
The Strange Egg is a luminous gothic prose poem by Kirstie Millar, illustrated by Hannah Mumby. Part of The Emma Press Art Squares series.
The egg cries all night. I cannot bear its noiseless sobs.
I rock the egg. I cover it with a blanket. I tell it a story.
I threaten to smash it with a spoon. Nothing
helps. Nothing stops the tortured cries.
