Geode

Listen to poem:
Bronze tint glints from fractured surfaces, peppered planes of salted quartzite, eons old: attributes peculiar to rock, to stone, whose strength no soft tissue could ever know. No iodine suntan ever quite approached that shade, nor ivory smile's glow blinded as its glassy show: To this flinty hardness mind never swoops; no human heart, though cruel, could ever reach its crystal cold.
