Like diamonds


Like diamonds

Obscure it in boughs of leafy words to suffocate
the light from earth which festers
firestorms crackling to birth.

let scatter the wind, let collect the breeze.

Obfiscate it in language, in poetry, in prose,
in action or romance or skyhigh apartments or plummeting
temperatures rising.

and whispers off tiny drums, echoing delight

Darken nights with brandished rights of day
which accumulate in sands of glass
turned on their side.

loosen the patterns, fabric to fray

Here the melancholic time, here
the subliminal rhyme, here 
the paradox, here 
the sublime.

like diamonds rusting divine
