break fast



not hyphenated but em dashed — into the wok, the yolks pool to a moon faced girl, howling at herself, her yellow mouth a clarion de lune. but what are the right words for this brightness — yuè liàng or jī dàn or just something scrambled? something to be consumed? — some mornings are a tide come too soon. i break & i break.
