for matthew (a symbolic gesture)

i am a circumstance which will not come to bear
ever turned away at the front door,
god knows what for
(couldn't remember if i tried)
i am an egg uncracked with a maze inside
yolk un yoked
i am a mona lisa smile
potential furled, impenetrable
a fertility goddess under some sombrero
or a metaphor bursting at the seams 
i'm just a dream
