Little Things--By A. Michele Leslie--United States

Little Things

Sons of Noise say,
“You shouldn’t talk.”

Chinese girl, hard wood,
wrapped in an orange blanket,
rests between shifts at work.

A man holds a golden egg yolk
in his spoon
and tosses it away.

A. Michele Leslie is a poet and playwright who lives in Minneapolis with her husband, David, and two cats.

  2. Dear Michele -

    This may be one the most original pieces I have ever read. To throw out the yolk - the little things we often dismiss and discard.

    Just beautiful,

    Kathy
