Poem: Holding a Rock

 

Holding a Rock

 

whisper in my palm,

a vestige of echoed moan,

resonance long lost

of keepsake and tryst;

 

of magma lost to surrender, 

a vigor crimson-primeval

no longer afloat

in the bliss-fed pulse of a planet.

 

no longer the ache of gods,

their molten blood,

a union tectonic and ardent,

immortal, incessant, 


no longer to incandesce.


no longer bold, 

the verve of the unmeasured,

no longer ripe and redolent,

harvest of fulgent hopes, 

no longer revered or brave.
