A Day Begins in Gold

A golden orb surrounded by delicate white clouds
daintily glistens yellow around the edge in the light.
Golden and fragrant, it calls to the air,
the mind, the... stomach.

Not so the one that provides it:
a foul fowl in dirty brown feathers
and armed with a deadly beak
and an attitude more like a Rottweiler’s;
a disgusting creature.
But its procreation is so delectable,
so divine a breakfast.
