My fluorite egg
Mauve aqua and turquoise
The colours race over the surface
Like the storms swirling on Jupiter.
Light pooling on the table
And dancing through the
Multi-coloured stone,
Balancing on its Perspex stand.
Handed to me by my mum
One Easter it has sat on my shelf
Ever since gathering a
Jacket of dust.
The lime green card that
It was delivered with
Described its properties
Like ‘Psych Protection’.
Filled with memories like
The light streaming through it.
My fluorite egg.
