Finding Esther Mae

Esther sings 
Through an overbite smile 
Each quivering note 
Cut
Into precious stones 
That ripple the audible calm
Staccato stones
Skipping in the wake
Of
The coarsing passage
Those double crossing blues 
Did lay
Pauper to grave
But her quivering stones 
Ripple through ardent ears
Double crossing 
The passage 
Of time.
