A Delicate Morning Balance

Crawling across the cool marble counter on all fours, I came right up to a smooth porcelain egg cup cradling a speckled brown egg. It looks wonderfully grand and round compared to me! I crept closer, placing both palms against the cool ceramic stem before arching up gently to tap the smooth shell with my fingertips. It felt so sturdy and pleasantly warm in the morning glow. Nestling my cheek against the pedestal, I settled down to keep faithful watch over your breakfast.
