Cheers! a Rhyme of Tears

27 Apr 2009

·J. Maw

Here's to the world the sun's great love intends, my tear's quiet journey along its face of sundial which the sands bright furnace bends; and only silk conveyed by ruby lace. No pearls created by my grief are blind - the world's my oyster half around its size. The walrus and the carpenter did find such tasty stock, the salty seashell prize. And, in my sadness, I betrayed the sense sanctum of my human lover's heater: the outburst of its atomic license, each pulse like a splitting grain of cedar. My voice around my neckisconstricted- a single tear is like a flood inflicted.

I care not so much what I am to others as what I am to myself. Michel de Montaigne
