A Name

Eggs
Still and warm
Glowing

A low hum reverberates
In a cool stone chamber
Sand burns my feet

One egg shivers
Another rocks
A sharp crack
I hear it before I see it

A talon breaks through
Sapphire
Another
Emerald

The hum
Rolls through the sand

Wing tips push through
Topaz
And
Bronze

Wet and dripping
Ravenous
Wings unfurled
Translucent

Scrambling over others
Drawn to their riders

The largest egg
Tinged in gold
Rocks gently

The deepening hum
Pulses through my bones

Crunch
Fragments pushed aside
Sharp talons grate on the shards

Blazing gold
She claws forward
Through chaos

A name
Zareth

There are several places that I’d like to visit, but none really stood out. So I went a different direction. If you’ve figured out where I’m going, shhh, don’t tell. If not, there’s a clue hidden somewhere on my website. Take a look around and see if you can find it! The return ticket will go unused.
