Look into crystal.
A perfect sphere, so you think---
The image is warped.
*****
The brush touches light
as it paints the world in hue.
Good and evil born.
*****
An ocean's secrets
covered by layers of tide.
The moon laughs gaily.
*****
The cat is sleeping.
Bang! The rumble of the storm!
It flees for safety!
*****
Words refuse to come.
The earth has lost its rhythm.
Tears roll down my cheeks.
*****
The future is held
in chests of crystalline stars---
too many to count.
*****
Watching and waiting,
the breath freezes in the lungs.
Nothing is wasted.
