A time capsule
unearthed by a snapping turtle
Yes, she thought my dry back hill
is a good place to lay eggs.
Eighteen eggs, wow.
But wait, there’s more to see
a time capsule, cracked open
one, two, three… sixteen, seventeen, eighteen
all fell into the capsule.
What happens next…
I don’t know.
I love the paradox of this, the unanswered question of what’s nice, such a grand metaphor for the life we live. Thank you!
This is a great perspective on this prompt, I really loved the imagery it evoked. Thanks for sharing.
