delicate hand occupying emphatic glee
“See? LOOK! I found a Pearl!”
after a brief aeon spent in sand, salt, tide
polished, pitted, broken from the round
again and again and again
bedrock balanced on a grand cross
heart, health, life lines
a faint sandy web of reactive unknowing
holding the universe in place
under tree trunk lashes
inside the verdant iris
sharply reflected clouds
edge inky blackness
waxing
radiant pearl.
