I lived in Crete when I was young.
At easter
boiled eggs are painted red- the colour of Christ's blood
one cracks one's egg against another persons egg
there is something about the last persons to crack
being unlucky
I can not really remember anymore
I
In ancient mythology
heaven and earth were represented
by the two halves of an egg
the origin of the universe
so it goes...
my little red universe
left a stain on my hand
it now rests with other little universe's
in a recycled carton
awaiting an omelette
or perhaps a cake.
