Bones of the Mind
the hardest substances in life are
stubborn- beautiful
and slice to the soul
hang by a thread
ride you like the wind
then leave you to your alone
then fires draw near and grow brighter
the breakers start to bite
the fist becomes tighter,
wildly swinging at ghosts-
like a snowman
the eyes turn to coal,
never evolve to a gem
when the sun is eclipsed
it becomes blinded
by things both profound,
things so amiss.
by
things of flight
by
things deep underground-
The hardest substance on earth
is the heart...
if possible i'd caress venus
while
playing russian roulette with mars
(in plush velvet nonchalance)
where the hardest substance
is time-hands made of feathers,
tickling the bones of the mind
now
and
forever.
