elements of composition

The egg yolk
and the orange juice:
exact same color, visual tone.

It makes the breakfast mis-en-scene
seem still life, perfectly composed.
All harmonies punched home,
brought out
in similarities,

echoed

from plate to table,
egg to glass

in white and golden
yellow-orange glows

with flecks of peppered sass,
and curving metal tines -
the glints produced
picked up in sunshine
wetly kissed

upon egg yolk
and orange juice.
