Listen or not

Many words and many burdens to fathom
when the head is locked and full of aching blood,
The world is before us, we have not seen  all her ores
Though they lie near they are nothingness  for our eyes 
less weighty than dust

Flesh is as steel after the kindness of the heat 
from the darkness of the unseen
